I see the Greenberg’s Great Train & Toy Show at Chantilly, VA is this upcoming weekend of 10-11 December. Can someone comment on if the show is worth attending? Any major manufacturer attend? Is it more flea market with high prices or can deals be found? Thanks!

I stopped attending the Greenberg's shows over in Timonium, Md - more & more toys, less scale trains. I'm into N scale trains.
Having said that, Greenbergs shows may be good for young families to let the kiddies 'look at the pretty trains'.
If you go, post a report - what did you think of what you saw?

I live in the area and since it is maybe 20 minutes drive, I go. YMMV but I don't think it is worth it to drive say, an hour to a Greenberg show due to the large percentage of toys and large scale trains.

Sounds like the show isn't that great. I am happy I am going to Lance's open house on Sunday. It will be neat to see his shelf layouts in person. Will be the last model railroading related trip I take in the DC area prior to heading back home.

I checked the website since I am not up to date with Greenberg.
This show is in a small new section of the exhibit hall.
Only says 250 tables.
