Model Train Show a Huge Success!

The first annual Buffalo Central Terminal Model Train Show was a huge success! The Terminal was flooded with train enthustiasts, model railroad buffs, and lots of families all day long. We're still tallying up the proceeds from the event, but we already know it's way beyond our expectations!

The 2007 show is being expanded to two days to accomodate more vendors and layouts. The dates are tentatively scheduled for September 8th and 9th. Vendors and visitors - mark your calendars!

A huge thanks to all the vendors for taking the leap of faith in participating in our first ever show. Equally huge thanks to all the CTRC volunteers who worked nonstop throughout yesterday's show to handle the unexpectedly large crowd. Finally, a very special thanks to Beverly Mruk and Mark Lewandowski who had been planning this event for over a year and trekked out to many of the upstate New York train shows and stores to promote this event. Without their diligence and extremely hard work, this event wouldn't have been nearly as big a success! Thank you!

Since you guys made alot of big $$ at the coolest train show ever. What are you going to do with that money tords the BCT. Hope it is cool. Had a wonderful time. See you next year.
 
The money will go towards resurfacing the front part of the plaza parking ramp and also to repairing the 60' sections of drain pipes for the flat roofs that desperately need replacing before winter.
 
next year you could make more money by having the food section up and running when the show opens---we had to wait over 1 hour just to get a cup of coffee---maybe you should invest in a mr. coffee maker etc --it would make the coffee faster----
 
We will make sure we have all the kinks worked out for next year. Thanks for the feedback!
 
The show was great!Just hope to see a greater turn out next year.Venders and the public, hats off to all who made it a great day!
