Re: ATTN: Dave Henk, you made Model Retailer (again)

I couldn't agree more. One show. It looks like "Railfest" is getting most of the attention from the model railroad industry, with the possible exception of the National Train Show.



We need a Nurnberg!

The fellow that was attempting to pass himself off as my shop might disagree.

I see Bob Gherman (Hobby Merchandiser) that started Hobbyvisions has resigned (as of yesterday) as it's president and is now committed to the hobby unification and the NRHA Las Vegas show. HobbyVision still lurks but it's not dead just yet. However if in the next few months a venue and date is not named I'd expect it to go away. The chief effect of the two shows was it seems to have kicked folks in the pants to get their act together. I can see a "Nuremburg" like show sometime in the future. I had talked with some railroad manufacturers and with these two shows killing each other they were heading to TrainFest instead.

Really? When was that? I admit I've not been paying as much attention to r.m.r these days as I used to...

Nevermind. I found it Boy, aren't trolls and sock puppets fun? Sigh. Heh, just like the old days.

And don't forget Springfield. In last year's Model Retailer, a survey of manufacturers ranked the Springfield (MA) show #1 in importance. This year, it was #2, but even so that ain't bad. I'll be there again with the South Shore Model Railway Club and Microscale (as helper).

Oh, you mean that loser who can't even make himself reasonable? Don't worry, Dave. If his past writing is any example, I'd never confuse his digital babblings with your writing.
