Those going to YORK

[jonadel]

I do have a list of needs & wants:

Needs: seated pasengers by the dozens--painted, telephone poles--dozens, more standing people that are the correct size, more coal cars, a Lionel TMCC Command Base and an MTH's cable to connect the Command Base to the TIU.

Wants: a Climax engine or Shay. My dream is to have a bigger lumber operation in 3 years. I really would love to find some tin plate that I could afford..............

My biggest fear is that my wants will exceed the budget very quickly.

Best advice is bring only what you want to spend at the show + expenses and stick to it,  I have never pulled the plastic out and don't intend to either.

Jon, Not sure as to what you are looking for pertaining to seated people. Check out this site, sometime this month they were supposed to receive what appears to me the same as the K-Line people packs.

Thanks Doug, I had seen that add earlier and I was hoping that perhaps they might be at York. I have 3 passenger trains that I want to fill up with folks enjoying train travel.

Thanks for the reminder :)

Better to use DUCT TAPE.

Ooooh Goody,  we're getting out the duct tape.  Now it's really going to get kinky....

Doug,

I usually look for parts, interesting accessories, cars to complement cars I have. I also like to look through the new products in the Orange (Dealer) Hall. And finally - good ol' PA Funnel Cakes with lots of powdered sugar!

I was wondering do you guys go to York looking for something in particular or just for something to catch your eye?

Just going to "look and learn" is my usual goal, and I'm lucky to live only 2 hours away. This time, I'll be buying a new Miller Engineering animated sign, due-in next week. It's also a great chance to see items in operation. I probably would not have bought the neat MTH operating station platform or box car, had I not seen them "in action" at their booth at York. Joe

Joe, Are you going to join us at the CTT both on Friday?

Bumping this to the top... 

[jonadel]

I think we are going to try and hit the bandit meet(s) on Wednesday afternoon. Anyone else from this board?

Sorry for the stupid question, is the York gathering this weekend (13-14) or the next?

[MartyE]

Next Doug...  Might be a bit lonely if you go this weekend.  But it won't be crowded!

[jonadel]

No, it's not this week, I'm just trying to take advantage of every minute we are there.

jonadel - I won't be hitting the bandit meets on Wednesday.  Some of us still have to work for a living and are fortunate enough to live right next door to York.

Can't we get a few more together at York?

[dougdagrump]

Would love to go but the commute would be a bear!

Just remember please keep an eye open for any dealers that carry K-Line parts.

Only 45 more hours of work...  I'm actually looking forward to the trip!

Neil- You & Roger will have to keep an eye out for Bunny Ears behind your Heads for the Photo Session as Laz can be very sneaky If it should happen. However, It will be another fun "Kodak Moment"  Look out for the 800lb Bruin of Millersburg also. Take Care.

I can count the days on one hand now...It really is getting close...

Supposedly RMT will be giving away a new catalog at York.  I hope one of you guys pick one up and give us a review after you return.
