Whoa!  Don't pick on Bachmann.
I don't see any big manufacturers.
No Atlas, Lionel, MTH, Kato, Rapido, Woodland Scenics, LGB, Piko, Peco, etc., etc.
You might want to check with the organizers of the show.

Rapido is there. So is Hunterline, Sylvan, Osborn. Others too.

Most of the other "big manufacturers" you mention are American and seem to find a trip north just too troublesome and expensive.

Sid;
I missed Rapido on the list, but Hunterline, Sylvan, Osborn? Big Manufacturers?

As I implied w/o getting into details at the time . . . . . thru direct personal correspondence with a PIKO principal 4 months back, they would be at ST'18 embedded as they were last yr.    And there is a 'uTube vid from 2017 showing their decent sized booth space !


The manufacturers that Sid listed may not be big in G-gauge as you indicate personal preference but for the scales they manufacture for,  they are 'big' !
And as he also implied it can take the 'big' manufacturers a while to figure out where is Calgary ,Canada   !!

p.s. accucraft, aristocraft have fd their way at least once in the past and for both they were embedded within  a vendor booth displaying/selling their wares.   They have to do this, to get around rules/regulations regards selling directly and negatively impacting their vendors at the show. 

p.p.s.
i wasn't picking on B'mann just pointing out (a personal observation) since for  at least the previous 3 yrs.,  they have had a seperate booth !!
