The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

I went to a nearby train show yesterday, 5 bucks to get in the door. I would estimate 10% of the tables had magazines and memorabilia or non-railroad toys, 45% was HO scale, 35% was N-scale, and 10% other scales. I hadn't seen such a high representation of N-scale in a long time. There were some good deals to be had, for sure, but I'm at a stage where I don't need much for my layout, don't want to spend too much, and just need scenery or whatever. I came home with 3 hon3 freight car kits at 5 bucks each. Considering they retail for about 15-20 each, that's not a bad deal.

Good morning everyone. Yup, it's still a damp weekend here, as Kevin might know all about. Right now we're at about 2.5" of rain since Thursday, almost a record for November, but we've still got today and tomorrow with rain in the forecast. Lots of snow up north as well, keeping our temps low here. It's showing 50° still at 8:30 with highs suppose to be in the low 60's.

Yeah Kevin, I missed going yesterday but It wasn't just the rain that kept me away. It's been a few years since I have gone to that show, it seemed like all the same people had all the same stuff for sale, most of it at retail prices and very little N scale, and so I got tired of driving all that way, spending the admission fee and coming home empty-handed. You're right though, that is a nice increase of N scale for that swap meet, maybe I should have gone. I'll try to make the next one this Spring.
