I think I spent more this show and talked to more people than I have in quite a few York shows. I was on the hunt for structure and building materials and maybe some trains. I found the trains just overwhelming but I was on a clock to leave by a certain time for a weekend vacation.
Still, I found some good die cast vehicles, a couple postwar operating accessories from the junk pile, new figures, new details from Altoona model works, a laser cut building front, and some new tools. I think with more time I might have walked away with some New Haven cars I saw in the booth next to the die cast vehicle booth.
Most importantly I enjoyed the various structure modeling booths with their large scale structures, several of the detailed structures for sale, chatting with quite a few booth owners, and the couple modular layouts setup for display. The MetLife building with full lighting was incredible. I would have taken photos but thought there were no photos in the Orange hall.
I was hoping to run into Allan Miller to get some tips on an article I submitted but that was the only miss of the show. Overall the record continues that any York is a good York.
