I spent today at the show and managed to spend the money that SWMBO gave me. (Basically, one coach and a herd of cows -- which ones are red?)
It seemed that there were more dealers -- they are now pushing their way from the outside ring into the middle -- and fewer layouts. NMRA and a couple of other groups had demonstration tables. Narrow-Gauge Madness were NOT there. There was a stretch of 5 tables with nothing on them but a group designation.
There was a layout in Z, a couple in N and a bunch in HO and a large area of floor with G on it. No S or O except for dealers, and no large scale live steam.
Brian Baldwin (BJB Enterprises) was having a 10% off closeout sale :cry: . David Foster of the British Connection was there, seemingly recovered after is stroke; he still can't drive because the driving testers are on strike and he needs to be retested.
