Having had to miss York (even though I'd bought tickets last summer) due to recent rotator cuff surgery, I was able to make First Frost yesterday and really enjoyed it. Great show as usual but missed a few OGR regulars I've seen there at some past shows.
Picked up an American Flyer S girder bridge although no PE S gauge handcars were to be found, or at least I didn't see any. Anyway, also got a nice brass look wall piece and a couple tools, too, and for LED upgrades to my PE FlyerChief S passenger cars, I saw gunrunnerjohn and bought some CCLR's which he'd kindly brought with him. (Unfortunately didn't get enough and I'll be needing more for those MTH Premiere 64" Woodsided passenger cars I mentioned, John, so hopefully, I'll be able to get them from you at NP O gaugers display on first weekend in December in Lansdale. Will drop off that non scale PE berk with the whistle steam effect, too, John, so you can open one up to see if a MTH smoke unit and your super chuffer can be added while still keeping that whistle steam effect. I just wish that when adding tmcc and cruise I could keep it's original sound card with audio clips from the film.)
Was disappointed Henning's Trains didn't have a table there.
And while, talking to a fellow running the new FlyerChief S gauge PE set, discovered the smoke unit on his engine also had quit. That's quite a few folks I've met who've had issues with that Berk's smoke unit, otherwise, a fantastic train at a bargain basement msrp price.
Would have gotten more but picking up my Lionel Hallmark ToyMaker Santa Express set this week and as it's somewhat pricey (but a really nice looking train), wanted to leave First Frost with some funds available for it.
