Nice show hoping to be there myself.
Hi Ron, Welcome aboard!
It's an honor to see you here!
We will see you at the NAMES show.
Gil
Hope to go. Have not been there in many years.
I plan to be there with a number of new engines.
Yet another year i wont be able to go. I hope you guys do us non-attending member a huge favor and take as many pics and vids as possible!
Ang & I will be attending & look forward to a large meet up of forum members. Doug ,if you make it the "Henry Ford" Museum and Greenfield Village you will absolutely love it, you might want to check into hotel and Museum package deals as they can save you a lot of money, most hotels/motels in that vicinity offer a package deal.
The N.A.M.E.S. show is taking place April 27-28, 2019 at the Yack Arena in Wyandotte, Michigan, USA.

This is the second best show in the USA for all things steam (IMHO Cabin Fever is Numero Uno).
I know that Gil and I will be attending. Gil will be exhibiting. I am flying in for the show and will not be exhibiting as a result.
Please post in this thread if you are planning on attending.
Charlie, i have to disagree with your #1 and 2 ratings! Coolspring has to be in there somewhere-I would put it at #1 if you like to show, buy, and sell for 5 days. Of course i might be prejudice since i only live 20 minutes from it and can go every night! Of course, I have never been to NAMES, so may ahve to re-evaluate in a few weeks!

Fair enough Doug. I thought of Coolsprings as more full size and hit and miss engines rather than toy steam and engineered models. But, I haven't been to Coolsprings. I hope to rectify that in 2020.
I've been selecting engines and packing the Durango.
Will head out later tomorrow and drive about halfway there.

Be safe...you folks there.
On the plane to Detroit.
I will be there this afternoon!
Righteous! I hope you guys have a moment to document the exhibits for those of us who cant attend! Enjoy, folks!
Attended the Open House at Ed’s Ironworks tonight with Gil, Simone, Bruce, Nick and his Grandad.
Gil and I have posted videos rom our visit to this private museum in 2018. What a collection and a great kick off for NAMES 2019.
Here is the video from last year:
