I can’t help but ask.
What the hell is a “GIZ”
That’s Pennsylvanian for GUYS, Frank.
So are you going to York or what?
Jim
My first reaction is you must be kidding
Just need to make a commitment to taking the time off to do so.
You going?
No. That would be the beginning of a bankruptcy for me.
Jim
grrrrr [:(!]
Hello All! Look out Laz! It looks like you’ll be tied up until after the Photo session is over.[;)][:)] Take Care.
I wish I could go. It sure would be something towing an empty trailer and with an unlimited budget.
I was wondering do you guys go to York looking for something in particular or just for something to catch your eye?
DOUG,
It depends, this time Im looking for a Starlite diner and either a MTH or Lionel 4-6-0?

I have a fairly specific list of things I am seeking:
one of these with tender is just about top of the list:
a set of these:
a few of these:
one of these:
some of these of the NYC variety:
beyond these - am looking for interesting figures and 40’s ear vehicles, as well as lots of “clutter” oil drums, tanks, tires, wheels, crates, pallets etc to fill out some scenes as well as some interesting building kits.
In years past I have had a list but not this year. The only thing remotely on my radar is some Fast Track pieces and even there nothing specific. Nope this is just a few days to get away from it all.
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. Jon
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 
Jon
Ooooh Goody, we’re getting out the duct tape. Now it’s really going to get kinky…[}:)][:O]

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