OGR Forum Grandstand Meeting - Fall 2014 - The Bruce Springsteen Edition

This was really good news. I also find it interesting that they can move their manufacturing back to the USA and lower the price 'several hundred dollars'. Goes along with a couple of articles I have read over the last couple years about other companies moving back to the USA and also lowering their prices. Makes one wonder why they can't all do that? I do believe this will be the new trend for manufacturing and we will see more of it happening.

Thank you, Steve.

Thank you Steve plus all others that commented here.  I really miss being there this fall and, hopefully won't have to do that again.  Heard lots of nice reports about the overall York fall meet, but certainly, missing the OGR forum meet was the worst. 

Look forward to seeing all of you next April.

Steve....

Add my thanks for all you do for the hobby!  I really enjoyed talking to you and Mrs. Muffin.  As I traveled through Indy on Sunday, I was really tempted to give you a call but realized that in fact it was Sunday and you two deserved a rest from all of the train activities!!

No better way to enjoy this wonderful Dallas Texas morning than reading this on the patio with a good cup of coffee. Thanks again Steve.

Took some vacation time right after York and just got back.  Did NOT take either laptop or smart phone, so I am catching up now.  All the nice things you are saying about Steve's reporting are richly deserved, He is both accurate and entertaining.  We are all lucky to have him as our official Forum Historian for the Forum meeting.

Thank you Steve, you did a fantastic job.  I ought to know since I own the place

Appreciate all the work that went into your report.

Well earned vacation, Ed, I might add.  Keep us appraised of other news.

Does anyone have a photo of the Southern paint sample from the WBB booth?

 Here's a shot from my phone, hope it helps.

Uhhhh. This was the 10/14 report.

Maybe the moderators can delete these last three posts.  I think that will send this thread back into the nether pages to avoid any confusion -- even though it is titled Fall 2014.  

Made me look!

Sorry - got mixed up. I saw a post about these GP-30s and was trying to find information about them at the York site - somehow got the wrong York! Previous post eliminated.

Great report!  Thanks Steve. 

Steve great report

Thanks for posting

Folks...

THIS POST WAS FROM OCTOBER NOT FROM THIS PAST YORK. STEVE HAS NOT POSTED THE MINUTES FROM THE APRIL 2015 MEET. 

Is it April Fools Day or what?

Norm

Really funny - thanks.... I wondered how this thing resurfaced....

Wow, It took a bit for me to realize this was an old tread. I went to the last ORG get together and did not remember any of this, I thought I was losing it all together, which is not that far away.
