This coming Weekend, Oct. 18th and 19th, will be the train show at Manchester, GA. This is a annual event they hold with live steam outside and layouts and vendors inside. Theres also a area setup, thats year round, for the public to view the CSX yard nearby. The door cost was $2 last year, and it doesn't say what it is this year.
Heres some info if anyone else is nearby:

It's a really good event, and if anyone is able to go I'd highly suggest it.  The layout shown above is really nice, plus they'll have all kinds of model railroad goodies, railroad literature, etc.  for sale. 

And if anyone can stand to take pics of the Crash Site Xperts  :D, there's a railfan platform and an overpass where you can take good shots of all the action.  CSX runs plenty of traffic through there.

Here are a few shots I took during one of the times I was there.

For anyone coming there, We'll be looking for ya there. Our table is setup in the middle of the room. The guy running the table goes by "TrainMan1965" on the WhistlePost.com forums and will be wearing a CSX hat, I'll be wearing a NAVY hat and a big nametag with "ThoroughBreeed" on it.
You'll find n-scale, HO scale and even some G-scale on it for sale.
The bathtub gons I have listed for sale in the classifieds will be on the table also, if anyones interested. I'm gonna let them go for $120 for all 20 of them at the show, thats $6 each. You can't get 10 Athearn or Walthers cars for that much.
