The split was announced as 12K on Saturday, and 11K on Sunday. Both were
slightly over the even number, so the total was 23,000+.



And it's spelled Amherst.

- S-scale was very well represented at the show. My pick were the PRR
- P70 coaches. If I were not in HO, i would have started with these and
- built a layout around them. Rapido has the new Osggod-Bradley smoker
- cars, and they will be re-running them in the future in case you missed
out
- first time around.

I didn't mention River Raisin brass, because they didn't have any new
freight
cars. But they are doing new SP steam locomotives in brass.

- Best guess was about 35,000 attendees for Saturday according to Amherst
- sources.

Umm, no. That would be wall to wall people. The TWO DAY total was just
over 23,000 -- which is a record. That doesn't count the 3,400 exhibitors.
Saturday was the busiest day, probably 60/40 split in terms of visitor
density.
