I was at the show. The amount of time that these gentlemen spend loading, transporting, assembling and then disassembling these layouts must be really high. They should be thanked for their time.
I've watched several videos and it just doesn't seem like there are nearly as many people than in previous years of course not being there and just trying to judge by videos isn't a precise way to tell...
My son, who was there with the Mohegan Pequot group featured in the first few minutes of this video, said the exact opposite. He told me that the crowds were the largest anyone had ever seen.
I’m assuming that because Amhearst is in New England most of the models and modelers would reflect railroads from that region. Still, a little foreign road power is always nice to see.
It is really great to see all the different views from the shows.
I miss going to those shows . Got a lot of good deals back in the day .

I thank them with donations and membership and passing on the great newsletters to other fans.
That layout from the Reading Technical Society is one of the best around. I’m hoping they will be at the Timonium Scale Show next week.
Yah that layout was amazing.
Very nice overview. Huge space, nice long trains. Thank you for documenting this year's show. Would love to make it up there for next year.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was there too🎉

When I got there at 9am the ticket lines were longer than I had ever seen them. It was a very good crowd.
Went to this show last year and layouts are amazing. I’m going to Timonium this weekend, which is still a pretty big show in its own right.
I see no Southern railway equipment. Well these clubs would not like me for having a Southern railway layout.
