What did you get at York?

I almost forgot......hot dogs, my way......with ketchup!

 

 

 

 

Peter

Well, after bugging the manufactures for quite a few years, I finally purchased a scale GE-44 Ton! The printing on it was misspelled like so many modern items. They spelled NYO&W - SANTA FE   ,but, I guess I have to live with it for a while. I also picked up a Miller rotating sign, a Kolber building kit, a TM video and Dick Tracy model kit (why?, I don't know!)

I also saw some friends and my wife and my cousin and I had some great food. All in all a good time was had by all!

You highlighted the ketchup word, so you know you are guilty of a sin. Hot dogs and Pizza with NO Ketchup is the "ONLY" way to go. JK...LOL...Enjoy!!!!

 

 

Now, THIS IS a Hot Dog

Ma&Pa 3 car Woodsides, B&O RPO, and T1 American Freedom Train From Vince's.

On the Left Coast, maybe.  I'm surprised that it doesn't have any "fruits and nuts" on it.

i live in the hills of western north carolina (this fact alone could explain things)

but, speaking of hot dogs and ketchup -

 

most folks in the area consider ketchup a "fine gourmet condiment" - to be used liberally with food items such as pizza, hot dogs, green beans, mashed potatoes, etc

 

but never on ice cream

 

rdeal 

 

and, mr richard - you being from "new york city" - would cause one to ask, ""what does he know about picante sauce or ketchup""

5 Weaver Reading & Northern 4 bay hoppers.  I have been looking for these for about 6 years and finally they showed up at YORK.  You never know what you will find there?

What's York? 

A city in Pennsylvania, south of Harrisburg.  It is the site of the HaArley-Davidson plant and, twice a year, hosts the biggest train show you've ever seen.  The manufacturers are there, as are major dealers, and individuals with halls full of rusted relics and later stuff. 

I found several items that I was looking for, But the best item that I brought home was a near new 2330 GG1 that I found in the silver hall Thursday afternoon. My big problem is that I don't know when to stop buying & start selling.

 

P.S. I like my hot dogs with mustard & sauerKraut.

 

The horror!...the horror!    

The burning question is:  What is inside that thing, a picture of which Putnam posted?

A peppermint patties.

AG. 

A city in England with a great train museum.

Dave, yes, that's the van I picked up.  I wasn't really looking for it, I always check the TCA Museum and future TCA Convention tables to see if they have any cool custom stuff.  When I saw the Entenmann's van I had to get it since I like Entenmann's products so  much, probably too much!

Gas.....

 

Sorry... couldn't resist!

And one item I forgot to mention. A Checkbook Cover with an embroidered Phillies logo on it from Gerry Morlitz.

 

Got something very rare ... a decent meal, on time, at Ruby Tuesday.  We just had to arrive hours before anyone else.

Forgot the 2037 and Tender

Some parts, and a very well-used early PW #313 Bascule Bridge to restore. It'll keep me busy and stress-free, as well as give me a chance to try to improve the design by adding a counterweight and ditching the spring. Though some would question my sanity, I'm tempted to convert it to manual operation like the Marx bridge (it would definitely be a one-of-a-kind). I'll see how the motor and gears work on the weekend.

a bottle of Sinbad glue ( great stuff !! ) ( Orange Hall ) 

a colorful Budweiser beer wagon drawn by two horses ( silver hall ) 

renewed my subscription to OGR ( Orange Hall ) 

a tin arrow shaped sign pointing with " TRAINS" inscribed on it. ( Orange Hall ) 

 

This was a very light haul from York, although I came armed with considerable cash.  I did not find any K line automatic 027 switches with the low profile switch motors. I have enough locomotives for now, although I almost bought  the new Williams 44 toner from Train World ( great prices and I really like Ken Bianco and his staff ... upbeat and friendly ..... thought I'd wait till WBB brings one out in Western Maryland livery.)  I'm also pretty well set with rolling stock right now two.... so I opted not to purchase any new freight cars or passenger cars.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love Picante, Ketchup , Mustard and all spices and sauces...I can and do cook everything...

3 new Ross SG switches

2 new RMT O-72 switches

2 NJ pizzas on Sunday to bring home--a must!!

I bought only two train cars this time; a record low for me. I guess that means I can spend more in October

 

Atlas O X-29 PRR Express Boxcar

 

 

MTH PRR R50b

 

 

These cars will be added to my other head end cars that I'm acquiring for my express train.

I was sitting next to Peter when he brought that thing to the table and yes, I can attest that he devoured the whole Doggone thing.  Pun intended.

Traindiesel- If you ever decide you don't need those Weaver Tropicana cars I'd gladly take them off your hands!

Sorry Dan, I'm actually planning to get a few more for my juice train!

If you've got a lead on where to find some, please let me know Traindiesel. Otherwise, I'm going to have to make some from Microscale decals.

Dan, now that I think of it, I did see some a couple weeks ago at a local shop.  Email me.

I got sore feet and knees.  But it's always fun.

 

Also found a set of Grand Trunk passenger cars that I'd been looking for. 

If the good doctor can down one of those Cholesterol Delivery Devise (CDD) then I do not feel to bad for all the dogs I have polished off over the years.

Enough with the hot dog and pony er, ketchup show! Please tell me there was CHILI.......WITHOUT BEANS! Sounds as if all had a good time, way to go York!

Everywhere you looked there was Food, GOOD food!

So you want to know what I got at York,

ok.

Indigestion, heartburn, upset stomach, headaches( sensory overload), sore feet, sore back, and o ya...constipation. All of above did not stop me from having a great time buying trains and enjoying my friends.

One of my best Yorks. Acquisitions included:

 

Lionel 2226W tender.  Found it in the first 10 minutes and never saw another. Made my day. Finally have a complete 226E locomotive and tender

Bing late 1920s O Gauge C/W electric outline locomotive

Karl Bub very nice metal O Gauge station

Kiwi HO very nice metal station

Minitoy O Gauge Public Service trolley to run with my Minitoy Rapid Transit trolley

Plastic Mexico City O scale trolley bus from the 1950s

Last but not least--Ken Kidder KTM Japanese O Scale powered commuter

      rail car with pantograph--customized as a SEPTA commuter car.

 

If the above doesn't take the prize for variety what does?
