I'm sold. It's a great show. When is it? Does it conflict with Cocoa Beach?

I don't need to point this out to most of you, but not ALL of the best modelers in the country are into the "RPM scene". There are
many
fabulous models on display at Springfield (as there are at
regional
shows and meets all over the country). One of my favorite
displays
at Springfield is the Pfaudler tables, where superb, scratchbuilt models of milk trains are on display. And way back in 1989 before I even knew my A end from a B end, I was awestruck by a Prototype Modelers' display led by Steve Solombrino, a great modeler who to my knowledge has never attended a single RPM meet. RPM meets only attract 1% or less of model railroaders -- you can be sure you
are
missing out on a lot of great modeling if that's all you do.
