Sean,

I visited the website for the show and Bachmann does show as an Exhibitor.

I have seen the Bach Man there before. I have been going to the show since the 1980's since I live nearby. The Bach Man does not live very far from the show either.

Hi all,

Saw him Saturday in St. Louis and he said he would be in Springfield. The St Louis show was a mob scene very heavy traffic in the booth all day Saturday definitely a lot of train interest. It was good to see all the people!!

Have fun in Springfield!!!!

Hey, Sean!
We'll be there, and so will George.
Looking forward to seeing the usual suspects!
And it was great to see Bill at the WGH in St. Louis!
Have fun!

Never been to the show, but was planning on taking my son to it so we can both go bonkers!

You will go bonkers. lol
I use to help a friend who buys and sells there.

Just in case you do not have the site, here is the website. You can download and print out the building layouts and vendor list. Sure helps to plan ahead. Once in a while a location may change at the last minute but there are plenty of volunteers to help out.

Forgot to mention. My LHS in town is a Local Hardware Store that sells K&S and all the Dremel stuff.
Pioneer Valley Hobby in West Springfield, also sells the stuff but about fifteen miles away.

I have heard of or read about Pioneer Valley at one time.  It is off of Route 20?

I believe you are thinking  of Pioneer Valley Railroad in Westfield. Still there.

Pioneer Valley Hobby is right off of Rt 5 at the Pizza Hut in West Springfield. Came out of Northampton many years ago.  Use to Be Child's Hobby.

Do a Google search for both.
