Shortly after buying my first O gauge engine and cars in 2012, I joined this Forum. Not long after that, Pittsburgh area Forum member Patrick H saw I was from north of Pittsburgh, and he invited me to a get together at his home layout with a breakfast at a local restaurant. It was shortly before the Spring 2013 York meet, and nearly everyone I met asked if I was going to York. You may have been one of them, Andy Hummell. I didn't get to York for 4 more years, but I did join the TCA with that in mind. I have only been to York twice. Yes, I can get into the Fort Pitt TCA meets as a visitor an hour after members get in, but I thought I should support the organization that puts on the meets.
