While I was visiting my family I got the chance to visit the Great Train Show in Ventura, something I have not been able to do in almost 20 years! Even though the amount of layouts has shrunk over the years, I was still pleasantly surprised at the variety of vendors, and the amount of items that were for sale at the show. Part of the joy and frustration of events like this is not knowing what, if anything, you are going to find!

If you attended the show or sold at it, I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below. With the rise of everything being online, it is interesting to see the direction things may take in the future. Although I do like being able to see the item, touch the item, and potentially make an offer in person!

I do want to extend a huge thanks to Metrolink and Amtrak for getting me to/from the event via the Codeshare program. That saved me $5.50 each way attending the event! If you want to learn more about the Codeshare program, you can do so here. https://metrolinktrains.com/rider-inf...
