I was thinking about cutting the signal bridge in half to make a single, but one of the side effects of age is knowing my limits.
Speaking of volume. . . This weekend is the first big train swap meet in AZ since the pandemic. There was a small mostly scale show in early May, but this is the first tinplate show. As of last week they had 65 percent of the tables sold. Usually they are sold out 2-3 months in advance.
One growing problem I see is the lack of workers for the club shows. In Tucson they aren't doing the big 2-day trade show hall meets anymore because the club is all old men and they don't have the energy to run them.
I'll have a better idea of the state of the AZ train market after the show.
I heard the York plans for this fall, and decided I'd wait until next spring.
