Back in the early or mid 90s I had my one and only table at York. I brought a selection of samples of fairly fancy train cabinets to test the market for custom work. ( I had been a cabinetmaker in NYC for about 15 years but was a relatively new train collector) It turns out most train collectors would rather spend their money on trains rather than cabinets to hold them.
But my table happened to be in the same row and just a few tables down from the table of Angela Trotta Thomas who was there with her train prints in what must have been one of her first York meets selling her art. We admired each other's efforts, and she and Bob commissioned the fanciest train cabinet I ever made. I will have to see if I can unearth a photo. Lovely people and Angela has had a wonderful career.
