Indianapolis O Scale and S Scale Midwest Show

[Rufus T. Firefly]

In the bottom photo, who is the dealer with all the bridges and green boxes? Looks like a well organized show.

That's the one end of Bill Davis' range of tables

Thought so, but was unaware he imported a line of bridges. Anyone know who builds his models?

All around improved show over the prior year!

Sales were "inconsistent"........a very few larger items moved - it gets old very fast being told "that's a really good price" and then the person walks away never to return.............unable to sell a single kit, yet lots of bits and parts sold well.

Well ya got $200 bucks of my money

Now, it has been bandied about for years; any thoughts of making this a Sat/Sun meet?

It has but the larger dealers don't want that, at least for now. The hotels also give a better rate for Friday/Saturday the Saturday/Sunday. We'll continue to look at that and you will receive a feedback Email, as will all the attendees and vendors, for suggestions going forward.

Don't know who the builder is. I assume it's the same as his car builder. He does advertise these so not sure how you missed it

I'll accept the hotel rates argument, since Sat. night is apparently entertainment night at the hotel



but I do not understand the dealer argument. A full day on Sat. should get more people in the door.

So you are the guy the cops were looking for after the show

No, but that was the scene at the front door of the hotel Sat. night,

That's what $200 in sales gets you.

I tried to trade the milk car but cash only
