The Toy Train Operating Society will be holding their convention at the same time we are, and also at the Rivera. I inquired about whether their showroom was open to the public. I also mentioned that a number of collectors would want to get their hands on the limited edition chips that are supposed to only be available to TTOS members who book their rooms at the Riv. This is the reply I got:

"Our toy train trading hall will be open to the non-member public on Saturday August 6 from noon until 4pm. Public admission will be $6 singles, $10 for families, children under age 12 free with accompanying adult.

Thanks for your interest in the TTOS chips. I am sure some of our members will be willing to save some and sell some.

Stan Batynski, TTOS convention chairman"

Keepin' it real. Keepin' it
