Took a couple of buddies with me to the Train Show in Columbia, SC -- nothing big or fancy although we were all surprised at the amount of Lionel equipment there.
My goal was to look for pulpwood racks. After a couple of hours, nothing had shown up, but I did purchase a couple of pre-1956 cars -- Rocket Oldsmobile and "flamed" 49 Merc. Figured the cotton broker might have an Olds but the greaser would probably be more likely to have the Mercury, unless maybe it's just somebody visiting.
Took a couple of packages to the car from one of the guys and upon reentering, found an L&N rack at the table just inside the door and a partly constructed Southern rack kit a couple of tables down!
Already had one L&N so will have to do some renumbering when time allows.
