Amherst Train Show 2025 Day 2!

I was back for day 2 (1/26/2025) of the Amherst Train Show in Springfield, MA. I tried my best to shop and get footage. Keep in mind, sometimes it’s hard to get good video with huge crowds around. I hope you enjoy the video and if you want me to make a video of all the Train stuff I got, let me know in the comments!

So much to see and take in 👍😎 Thanks for taking us along 🚂🇺🇸

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@atjoe1972 I would need to clone myself to see it all! 😄

[@atjoe1972]

@@MyLifesTracks I can’t imagine 😱 You would have to create a new channel “My Clone’s Tracks” 😜 Wouldn’t that be great to have a helper clone when you went railfanning? Different camera angles and help setting things up. We can only dream 😆🚂

[@spenceradams2908]

Great to see some videos of the nechs layout that Aerotrain 25:59 and the mta stuff were mine that I was running. Definitely agree the show is massive and even with 2 days it feels like a blur

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@spenceradams2908 I liked that layout! I enjoy faster trains. I was just talking to one of the guys I went to the show with. We both have a touch of Post Amherst depression!😄 The show is so exciting to be at and this weekend we were at the fairly quiet train shop in our town.

One of the better show videos. Thank you

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@andychandler153 Thank you so much. I haven’t had a chance to watch anyone else’s videos. I do enjoy seeing others perspective.

[@daviddill4419]

Just wanted to thank you for your videos. Kinda sad as I’ve binge watched them all so have to wait for the next video. Thanks again for the great content.

[@MyLifesTracks]

Thank you so much! I’ll have video up soon of what I got at the show you can watch.

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Okay this video should get the Best in Show for the Best Train Show Video. I really enjoyed it. Oh, and "gorgeous" is the new "cool." You're really getting some views on these Amherst videos. Don't look now, but you're fixing to hit 2k 😲

[@MyLifesTracks]

Wow, thank you! I must have said “cool” at least ten times in this video. I just enjoy stuff so much, I don’t realize I’m saying cool. Thank you for your gorgeous comment! 😆

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Great tour of the show, lots of cool stuff, layout overload I think ,excellent video

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267 Thank you! Some of those layouts were so big! You could spend a day just looking at all of them.

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Great coverage Mark, thanks for showing the Athearn 2-6-0 and some S scale! Cool to see the "Best In Show" go to people I know, from our State of WI. The The Wisconsin and Michigan Model RR Club! (Dave).

[@MyLifesTracks]

Thank you! Wisconsin & Michigan layout was beautiful and they ran really long trains! It was cool to see them get the award on their 1st year there.

[@Mreynolds1960]

WOW, I want one of every thing. Thanks for sharing. 😎

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@Mreynolds1960 There are so many things I wanted to! Walking around the show I kept thinking, if only I was wealthy.😀

[@MichaelFoster-c1t]

A great variety there.

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@MichaelFoster-c1t My video gives just a taste of all there is to see! 😀

[@rut5161]

Thanks for the video. Couldn’t make it this year but your video was great.

[@MyLifesTracks]

Thank you! I tried to captured the spirit of the show. Hopefully you can make it next year.

[@327365hp]

Cool man!

[@MyLifesTracks]

Thank you!

[@sparky107107]

i really need to get there.. show looks amazing.

[@MyLifesTracks]

@@sparky107107 I keep expecting to see you hanging around the Mini Prints display! I enjoyed the show more this year, because I have a better feel for where everything is and I took a more relaxed approach to making to videos. Also this year, I brought the guys from the Train shop with me. It was fun finding items for our shop and customers!

[@jcure]

Ahhh finally, some caught a glimpse of the beet hoppers from Athearn. SP modelers can't wait. People are missing those, are a big deal. Oh and it's kaw-toe, from the owners mouth. Thanks

[@MyLifesTracks]

Looking at the footage I got of the beet cars, I wish I got a closer shot. The Athearn display was very busy when I was there and it was hard to linger in one spot.

[@robertmcdonnold3038]

How big is the building this is in?😊

[@MyLifesTracks]

There are 4 buildings. Here is the link to the floor plan. www.railroadhobbyshow.com/files/2025_ARS_SHOW_MAP_V6.0%20final%20-%20Copy%201.pdf
