So am I correct in assuming that the model engine show is set up in the same area as the cars in the aisles and not in a separate area?

A little bit of both. We will take over the entire "service building " not a stand along building but connected by a big hallway (they drive cars thru it) and in the "assembly building " there is an area open for display. We will take over that area and other large areas. Most of the cars stay on the floor. You will get both levels of the museum & the engine show. The aisles are 35 feet wide & over 100 feet long. This is not a small show or a small venue. Did you see the video?

Gordon · Sep 7, 2024

Yes. I saw the video but I have never been there so I am not familiar with the layout. I guess that I will have to go to see how it is set up. I have driven past the building several times as we have been on our way to visit our daughter in Cincinnati but my wife was along and has no interest in looking at old cars and we still had a few hours to drive. I have always gone to the NAMES show but that is no longer available.

Come on down, I think you will find this well worth your time. Nope NAMES isn't ever coming back! Cincinnati? Ever go to Jungle Jim's Market or the Findlay Market??

I have not been to either of those unless you mean Jeffries Antiques at Findlay. We have stopped there. I read my Kindle and my wife looks at the antiques. Is Jungle Jim's the flea market just north of Cincinnati?

The Google search has lots of better pictures. Both of these places are world famous. Now if ya go to the Findlay market there is are electric trains that run in a circle in the over the Rhine area. There free to ride and no steps to climb.

We have worked out a discount with Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, the Early Ford V8 Museum, and we are working on the monster truck museum. Don't forget the Lima locomotive 765 (765.org)

I know that quite a few of the members of this group will be at the show, any ideas for identification so that we can actually meet each other? I know that I’ll be setting up next to Steve Huck (and many will want to see his creations ) so please stop by.

Are you able to take food into the building or at least snacks? Are there vending machines?

I'm planning on going but I don't think I'll display. This will be my first time to this show so I'd like to get acquainted with the venue.

Does Auburn have a cab or Uber service? I'm thinking of flying in to the local airport, and renting a car, if even possible, doesn't make sense for a day.

Thanks,

Dave

I just Google taxi "Auburn Indiana " and several cab companies showed up. And Uber / ride share services seem to be everywhere as well. The DeKalb CountyAirport? Or the Ft.Wayne Airport?
