I don't know if it is cool or not, but picked up some things at York I really liked. Found a TMCC version of a NYC S2 electric (I love ugly duckling engines) for a decent price from a dealer. Bought a standard gauge caboose (216?) to keep my #8 engine company where it is displayed. Picked up a couple of weaver hoppers with the Chessie the cat logo (curses on CSX, blah) that the guy wanted to get rid of , for my all Chessie train. Also found an Atlas wood side reefer for "Parrot Potatoes", couldn't resist it and knew my wife would love it.
Only sorry I couldn't afford the no 1 gauge live steam engine in one of the halls (I think silver or blue), that was the one I had to let get away
