There is a section on Model Railroading that would be more appropriate, but oh well.
Here is a link to the show:

Isn't this THE SHOW to go to or is that the one in Detroit? Maybe next year when I have some cash.

No World's Greatest Hobby show or the like in the Detroit area this year that I know of. So, other than the local shows, this is the one to check out.

Someone's putting on a show in Novi in January, but not sure who. The Lansing show is usually much better, especially if you're on a budget. Unless you absolutely hate horse shows.

I spent my model RR budget at Gratiot Valley last weekend, and after vacation this week, I highly doubt I'll feel like driving to Lansing and back on Sunday. I agree with the statements above that this is one of the better shows on the east ( :wink: ) side of the state.

I always walk out with a good deal at this show. Plus when the wife gets tired of following me around, she goes to watch the horses and stops giving me the "do you really need that?" look. :D

No way, man, the Lansing show is one of the better shows on the WEST side of the state. :wink:

Any report on the show! This is one that I can't go to due to allergies.

Wish I could have gone. I should have had you pick me up a couple of these. The two I use are almost worn out.

That's where I got mine a few years ago. I use two of them every day and one of them is completely blank as the black ink has worn off. I need some more! It makes spotting your keys so easy. :D

I got mine at Grand Rails and I have a spare somewhere. My dad didn't want his. (shocker)
