The 18th Annual NC Railroad Expo will be held June 13th, 2020 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Hickory Metro Convention Center. ShowMyHobby.com will be there with several tables of great G, HO, N, O and S scale model railroad trains and accessories for sale. Items available from ShowMyHobby include Steam and Diesel engine locomotives, train cars (assembled and kits), tracks, buildings (assembled and kits), trucks, trailers, semi-tractor trailers, track-guides, train ornaments, and other model railroad accessories.
This is an excellent opportunity to get into the World’s Greatest Hobby of model railroading or to add to your train empire or collection. ShowMyHobby has roadname signs and placards, lapel pins, engineer hats for both children and adults, plus tons of modern and older era trains and automobiles. Grab your spouse, the children and even a neighbor or two and come on over to the Hickory Train Show. The concession stand will be open with hotdogs, BBQ, chips and drinks.
Admission is $5 for adults and teens over the age of 12. Mask are highly recommended and social-distancing procedures are in place.
ShowMyHobby.com shall be a vendor in attendance at the train show. Cash and plastic are acceptable forms of payment (payment using plastic credit and debit cards incur an additional 3% processing fee). PayPal app users can pay using the app. Currently, there are over 120 items available on the ShowMyHobby website. There will be over 500 items at the show. Items sold at the show will take precedence over items sold online during the day of the show. Most of our items are in original boxes or packaging and are in great shape. Many of our items are new, old stock or opened-boxed items. Some items have been slightly used. At passed shows, we have allowed testing of locomotives. During this show, no testing will be allowed and items will not be allowed to leave our area without payment. Please limit your handling of items to a minimum prior to your purchase.
ShowMyHobby is located on the last isle on the left about 3 rows back, 2nd column from the wall. I will be wearing one of the Blue & White Denim Engineer hats that we sell (provided it doesn’t get too hot to do so). The isles are 12 foot wide with plenty of space to move around and practice social distancing.
The Hickory Train Show is sponsored by the Alexander Chapter- NRHS. ShowMyHobby.com helps promote the show to increase awareness and participation.
