HUDSON, N.Y. — The Mountain Toy & Railroad Club will hold its New Year Toy & Train Show Sunday, January 4, at the American Legion Post, 7 Fairview Avenue, from 9 am to 2 pm. General admission is $3, and children under 12 are free when accompanied by an adult.

The show is the first in the area and will feature most of its 50 regular dealers from the tri-state region with exciting trains and toys. Among the returning dealers will be George Tebolt of Spencertown, N.Y., with Lionel pre- and postwar replacement parts. George Washburn of Hudson will also be at the show with many great antique toys and trains.

This show will feature all makes, ages and gauges of toy trains, including N, HO, O scale, Lionel O, 0-27 and Standard, LGB and American Flyer S gauge. Dealers will also have collectable die cast toy trucks, cars, vintage toys from the 1920s and 1930s, locomotives, rolling stock, passenger cars, replacement parts, track, transformers and accessories for each of the popular gauges.

The show will also have its famous train doctor and test track for those who need help in getting their old trains running again. Free appraisals will be available for anyone bringing an old toy or train, whether or not it is for sale.

The Boy Scouts of America from Troop 102 will again be selling refreshments and helping vendors as a fundraiser for their troop and working toward merit badges.
