Note

"Railroadiana" means artifacts -- lanterns, timetables, china, paper, etc. -- that are of railroad origin, rather than models or toys trains. As a rule fo thumb, when shows, events auctions, etc. also focus on model railroading items, at least 50% should be railroadiana to be included in this calendar.
