Minneapolis/St.Paul train shows? - Classic Toy Trains Magazine

Boyd, here in the Twin cities we have about 6 - 10 large shows per year.

2 Twin City Model Railroad shows (biggest) 1 Spring 1 Fall. TCMRM.org, next show in Sept. at state fairgrounds education building 9 AM. You can sign up for e-mail notification at their site. They start and finish the show season here. Nothing in the summer. The Newport Club   runs the Woodbury High School show 10AM. Usually 1 in fall after state fair show, and 1 in Jan - Feb and 1 in April. Has dates on site near show dates. Show at Century college 9AM, usually 2 or 3. Same type of schedule as Woodbury. Tougher to find dates. Can get info on handout tables at State fair and Woodbury show or vendors will know. Can sign up for mailing list at show (sometimes Choo Choo Bobs in St. Paul has info too). 2 small TCA shows at John P. Murzyn Hall in Columbia Heights, next open meet/sale Nov. 17 info under TCA lakes and Pines Div.

In the immediate area, shows in St. Cloud and La Crosse. I don't go to those because of time and mileage.

Got 1 new auto Lionel log dump and 1 new coal dump for $15 ea. at state fair show last Sat.
