I finally made it to this show. The last time I was there was in the summer of 1984 or 1985. Had a wonderful time. Didn't buy any trains. I did buy a pair of split ring pliers. Most of my fishing lures have spilt rings on them. Since every now then, I will get one of my lures in my pant leg or shirt. Then I have to cut the hook. These pliers will help me replace those hooks. Saw the American Flyer dealer from Conn. who always has a ton of choice Flyer. A lot of it is brand new in the original boxes. He has signs on all of it, reading please do not touch. I have seen this gentleman three times. Once on my last trip to York, once at a train show in Altoona and today. It just amazes me on how much brand new original American Flyer he has. And none of it is the common stuff. Enjoyed seeing and visiting we a lot of our old customers and friends. I also enjoyed the variety of operating layouts. On the way home I stopped at Dean's Diner in Blairsville and got two pieces of coconut cream pie for Peggy and myself.
