I wasn't planning to go to the Timonium MD show since I didn't think we'd have any books - but since the show was on the 11th and the books were there on the 10th I grabbed a stack of books and headed up the Maryland State Fairgrounds.
Show attendance seemed a little light, and not many people were buying - perhaps it had something to do with the sunny, beautiful weather. No one really wanted to spend all day at a train show and I think it showed in the sales overall.
The one good thing that came out of the trip up there was we managed to get Artisan Rail Media into the Craftsman Courtyard area of the National Train Show in Chattanooga this coming July.
In the meantime we've been shipping books, and decals, all week. We've gotten almost completely caught up with the book orders, except for a half dozen or so (we ran out of envelopes and mailing labels! More are on the way, and based on what the post office tells me, most people who ordered between February and late last week should receive their copy of the book sometime next week. I'm excited, and terrified, to hear what people think!
We also have posted some Southern New England and Central Vermont decals. I'm not surprised the CV decals are selling well, many people have a stash of those resin CV boxcars awaiting decals - but I'm surprised at the reception the SNE decals have received. I have several more CV and SNE sets that I'll be posting this weekend.
You can find all of these on the web site - HERE

Thanks again for your interest and support - and please order a book!
