This one’s the Debbie Cam version of the Real Rail Venice train show (February 21, 2026), and yeah… she does better than me. You’re right in the middle of the action—crowd noise, the raffle numbers getting called, and that constant “get your tickets out” train-show energy. There’s also a fun kids’ area with a train set running, and you can hear folks encouraging the little engineers to pick a color and get those trains moving. While Debbie’s filming, I’m doing what I always do at a show—working the room and hunting for “foosies” (those little finds you didn’t know you needed until you see them). You’ll catch snippets of real conversations at the tables: talking about being picky, skipping the overpriced stuff unless it’s truly out of the ordinary, and checking out items that “have never been opened.” There’s also an announcement for a free dead rail clinic by the Florida Garden Railroad Society with Paul Wagner, which is exactly the kind of thing that makes these shows worth attending—buying, learning, and meeting good people in the hobby.
