I'm going tomorrow to the WGH Show in Denver. It will be my first one!!!

I will have cash burning holes in my pockets, I sure hope I can find some good deals, I'm gonna buy a Digitrax Super Cheif, and some DS64s.

Does anyone know if they have people at these shows that will install loco DCCs onsite?

Anyone else going?
 
There is at least one vendor in my area who comes to shows that does installs and even some repairs at the shows. Your show is too far away from this vendor for them to attend, but there is a good chance someone similar will be onsite there.

I'm jealous, it's at least two weeks away from the first show of the year that I have found out about in my area, usually there is one or two in February but not this year.
 


As an exhibitor at the WGH Denver show, I was there setting up this afternoon. You will be in for a nice treat. Bring money... and be sure to check out the modern-day New York Central System running on the Colorado Great Western layout.
 
I went to the show today, it was really really good! It was a crappy snowy day, but alot of people were there.

And there were lots of killer layouts, HUGE layouts!!!

Here are a bunch of pics with my sorry camera phone. (time to get a new camera).

I asked the Athern rep about the new SD70ACe, he was rude and said we only have an undecorated display model.

And I saw the MTH SD70ACe, omg this thing is beautiful, I really like it because they have the D&RGW which is my prototype.

So I was on my way home, and where the show was close by an industrial area I never explored, so I followed the train to a HUGE Oil plant!
