Aww, too bad they're on the west side of Michigan. I can't find any that are in the metro-Detroit area. I live about 30 minutes south of Detroit. Haven't been to one in a long time. The last time was like 2-3 years ago. There's some in the newest edition of MRR but it doesn't say the day and month....... lol that's pretty important and they don't have it. Unless it's a place that's open like every day.

Cool. Thanks, ABC. Sorry I took so long to get back to you. Just now as I was going through the forum I remembered that I posted on it about other Michigan trainshows  . Anyway, I'll have to bookmark this topic so I can see all the dates again when the time comes. Thanks again.
