About The Show
A simple gathering of hobbyists trading out of their vehicles or from tables they brought with them.
Sellers start setting up about 6 AM and start packing up about 9 AM. We are getting sellers from all over the valley and also from Payson, Prescott and Tucson. Sellers have reported good sales from plenty of buyers. We've also been getting some people who see the free show and just come down with their childhood trains.
Lots of socializing and talking about trains happens here. We're seeing some small groups meet up at the show, and then go off to breakfast. A good way to start the day.
SET UP - Sellers set up in the red area in the photo below. This is to the west of the trees and nearer to the building. Park in one space and set your offerings out in the space beside it.
