04/05 O Scale Strasburg Show

This show only gets better & better!  For whatever reason(s) the prices are super low here time & time again!

A significant number of sellers are actually there to sell stuff and not take it back home (and then bring it back endlessly).

Oh eek.  This is in conflict with the Stamford (CT) Model Railroad club 75th anniversary open house.

Dear Mike,

     You are absolutely right on the conflict. Rich/I post our schedule 6/8 months prior to make sure this does not happen.

     I am more upset because I/Patty would have liked to attend this milestone event.

Double eek!  It does not bookend the York meet, so I can't get there from here.

Dear List,

     I received a call from Gary Smith for additional tables as he will have part of the Harry Neff collection for sale at the April meet. Gary asked if any one has particular wants to contact him at 216-3387449.

Rich/I will be posting list of Dealers/Importers by the end of the week.

 

Thanks for looking,hope to see you there. John P.Dunn Sr. Scale2Rail Promotions

And the crowd goes wild!

 

 

I'll be there with tubs of "stuff" along with representing O Scale Trains.

 

I'll be bringing some engines and some very nice framed art from the Doug Jones estate in addition to several tubs of cars, kits, and boxes of detail parts.

 

Stop by in Strasburg this Saturday!

If anyone has a Weaver RSD12, (2 rail, but any roadname) they want to part with, please bring it along.

I will have an assortment of Brad Strong custom turnouts

 

Marty,

 

Do you have any of Doug's Schuylkill Division number plates, builders plates, tender plates, or trust plates? He also had a Dzeike P70fbR. If you do, I'd be interested. Let me know.

Buzz,

You may want to check with Ed Rappe about the P70fbR. He or Jim Taverna may have gotten that from Doug's collection. If neither of them did they will probably know who did get it.

 

I have none of those items.

Trains fans...

I'll have an entire pile of Weaver, Intermountain and (plastic) US Hobbies cars to sell at ridiculously low prices... while they last!

I like this show...I actually find stuff at this one...too bad it is too far.

For B&O fans I will have the sample model of the Sunset P-7e on display. In the words of a well known high end brass dealer "that is the best looking model I have ever seen from Sunset". There are still a few left to reserve in 2 and 3 rail.

I smell a price war......I have a similar stash of RTR 2 rail Weaver priced to roll out the door on their own. 

 

After 12 hours in the car I better buy something

I was hoping to get to this one but other stuff came up. Like my MYH daylight that just came in and I wasn't expect it to be there.

Ralph

We made it

 

 

 

 

sorry Makcolm, no Intermountain kits left.

 

I had a great time, saw lots of good friends, and got that Weaver RSD-12, 2 rail, PRR, new. Thanks Rich, John and everyone involved with this 

Exactly so.  Managed to sell off a goodly amount of items surplus to my layout needs and cleared a lot of space out of the old $1 bargain box, too.

 

I even managed to pick up a couple of traction freight trailers on the way home!

Hi  Guys.  John  Great show glad to see its  getting bigger. Your all doing a great job and i thank you  for that. Saw  lots  of old friends there and had  a ball even though i didnot win any door prize  LOL   Carl

Pix of the show in the new issue of the O Scale Resource Magazine.

I really like this show.  And this time I picked up a few things.  Although I am a Hi-Railer, this 2-rail O (O-Scale) meet really delivers some diverse and cool things.  This is very different from your typical O-gauge venue. The show is (obviously) more scale oriented but there also tends to be a lot of detail parts, craftsman structure kits, and other items not usually seen. There also tend to be some 3-rail items that can be had (sometimes) at bargain prices.

I picked up:

• MTH PRR N-8 cabin car with train phone antenna (didn't do great on the price, but haven't seen these in 10 years). I would like to find the remaining one 478115.
• Builders in Scale Slate Shingles (2 pkgs). I think these might be destined for a PRR interlocking tower at Weirton Junction (WC).
• Mountain States Model Works Telephone Booth Kit (from 1975). This kit builds 3 "old" or "new" style telephone booths and was the bargain of the show. Only $2.00.
• Package of 8 unpainted plastic tree stumps for $1.00

It was a great outing. The weather was beautiful, had the company of a good friend (another O-gauger), and attended a very interesting train show - certainly can't complain.
