I visited the show this morning.... yikes, it was packed. Lots to see, lots to ooh and ahh over, but not really a lot to buy if you were an N gauge buff. There was however a stunning N Gauge layout as large as the hall that was built out of modules. Reefsteamers was there as were most of the train related hobby shops. But it took at least 2 hours to get to see everything because of the crowds.

Here are some pics... hot off the press.
