    The amount of detail is really impressive. It takes some real skill to put those displays together. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for including my Z and T gauge briefcase/suitcase layouts in your video. I actually don't use any special tools when building my layouts just the normal tools every layout builder has. I create Z and T gauge case layouts as a fun hobby this was my first year at the Model train fair.

      It was definitely one of the highlights of the show. We've never seen T in person before and were thinking your suitcases fully represented everything anyone would want from any hobby. Hopefully it was a good experience- would be great to see again! Thanks for finding our video and commenting!

    I went there this year on Saturday. Great show, last went to this show in 2019. This show is so underrated. Unlike many shows, this has a great presence of all scales. Now I'm into N scale and did Altoona in September but this was and is well represented in pretty much everything. Great vendors and exhibitors.

    Fantastic video!! I went both days and still feel like I missed stuff. I had so much fun here. It was nice to see all my model train buddies and to meet my new friends, you guys! Hopefully I’ll run into you guys again sometime.
    (Oh, the package that went missing got delivered today!)

    I think a trip to Milford is in order. And if you make it back to Altoona, you might want to check out the viewing park at Horseshoe Curve and maybe sneak over to East Broad Top, the steam tourist railroad that recently restarted operations. I hope to make it to Cass one day. I think the shays are neat.

    Years ago this show was so much larger. It had the two largest buildings on the fairgrounds with s 50's diner included. Layouts galore and many were absolutely huge. Now it's like having it in a garage. Over the top disappointing !

    • @FlyingRoadtrips

      Every so often it’ll be back in the Center of Progress building (they unfortunately remodeled the 50’s diner though) ages ago (early 80’s it was in the Art & Home Center- talk about a small venue! 🚂 thanks for finding our video!

    Is the ‘N Scale’, standard Lionel? Did you collect HO gauge? You seem you have knowledge.

    • @FlyingRoadtrips
      @FlyingRoadtrips  8 місяців тому +1

      quite a few companies make N scale... I think Standard was started by Lionel... Not too sure without cheating and looking it up... Mainly I have HO and O27 but it's tough to find the space in the house for them- that's why I like seeing all that this place offers! Thanks for watching David!
