Today, was the October 2024 Strasburg O Scale Show. As always, there was lots of buying and selling going on. At times the crowds thinned down, but I can say the sales from the tables were steady throughout the day.
The day was full of surprises. There are different things on the table than normal. Check out this model above. I’ve only seen a ship on a table once before in Chicago. For the Erie fans out there, three Stillwell cars together on a table.
That was nice to see, but the surprising thing was the models were on Fred Stillwell’s table. And yes he was related to the namesake of the prototype cars.
There were some very nice models including some rare like this Kohs PRR K4 with the front end throttle. Or like the Lykin’s kit-built model of a PRR X60.
There were plenty of fine models in the show. Here were some more from John Dunn’s collection.
It was a good show. My table kept me rather busy and I only got through the full show a couple of times.
It was good to see familiar faces and some new ones. There was also plenty of talk of the friends that were no longer with us.
Thanks for the updates on the Strasburg Show. I’ve missed the last three or four. Unfortunately the October one has been on same weekend I do HO scale Free-mo modules at Timonium with my son. Hope to see you in spring.
