"For those who have to travel far distances to attend York you have to look upon it as a destination. There is no way you can justify the cost of travel, food and lodging in an attempt to save money on buying trains."
Yes, Steve, that is the way I am looking at it. We'll drive there from St. Louis, and it will be a vacation for us. I am looking forward to meeting some, or better yet, many of the forumites whom I have never met, and yet seem like old friends. I also plan to visit other attractions and perhaps some of 'my friends' layouts.
I guess I better start looking at hotels!
