Read your interesting commentary on the York Train show. I guess every one of us comes back with an opinion. I have been going since 1991. Once a year from '91 till 2004. ( work permitted me only to take off once) and twice a year from 2004 till the present. For me it is like a pilgrimage haha. I go all three days. Glad it is now 3 instead of the original 2 because as I get older, it takes me longer haha. As was stated by other members for me it is the whole experience of meeting friends, learning new things and picking up a few items. I don't buy as much as I used to. I used to have a trunk full. Now I buy older nice pieces that I passed up years before because I wanted quantity over older pristine pieces then. Yes there are those older folks who sit with a table full of the same stuff, but I guess they go for the fraternalism too. Whatever your thoughts about York are, all are valid. This hobby has so many niches and that's what makes it great. To learn about all ideas. Keep enjoying the hobby. Good to hear everyones thoughts.
