Reply to "What did you find at York, October 2016"

I bought way more than I should have........

*Williams/Bachmann Pennsylvania RR RS3 engine

*Williams/Bachmann Pennsylvania RR 44 ton switcher engine (to accompany my MTH 44 ton switcher)

*A beautiful, near mint Lionel Postwar 2025 "K4" 2-6-2 steamer engine. I bought it from my "old" LHS - Catoctin Mountain Trains, which has now closed. Paul told me that the gentleman he got it from was the original owner. He passed away a few years ago and bought his collection from his wife. It does not have the boxes but is literally near mint in appearance. From the short test run I gave it, I appears to run like a fine Swiss watch!

*Various Postwar freight cars - 6464 boxcars, hoppers, N5C caboose, etc, etc. 

*Williams/Bachmann Plasticville Farm stand

*Williams/Bachmann operating crossing gate (never seen this accessory before and looks like a fun, easy to install item!)

*MTH Railking WEATHERED CSX hopper

*MTH Railking Greyhound Bus

*Mega Steam smoke fluid

*Catalogs and various reading material

*Two great crab cakes and lemonade from Sherri's

*Sore feet

.....Regret slightly for not buying a 736 Berkshire. There was a gentleman in the purple hall selling a large Postwar collection with some really, really beautiful pieces. Same goes for a Williams/Bachmann modern paint scheme Amtrak Genesis. My thinking was I rarely run my Amtrak train now, why buy another one.....I'll have to check Mario's website. 

I think I managed to list everything that somehow jumped into my bag to follow me home. 

Last but certainly not least - I'm not a "warm and cuddly" person and I'm sure some would say I'm rather cold, plus several things I won't repeat. I was truly touched to hear that Mr Muffin, which bought Korber Models will be employing young, disabled folks in their factory/store to help. A truly bright moment of my day and something that truly reaffirmed my faith in humanity. So, so very happy to hear this.

Three things I saw really were "tops hits" in my book, in no particular order:

1) G Gauge, real, live coal fired steam Chinese 2-10-2 "QJ Class" steam locomotive. That was a little above my price range.... I really enjoyed getting a good look at it.

2) East Penn Traction Club layout. A local N scale train buddy is a member of their group but I've never seen a display in person. This was a very well done, small display. I've really come to enjoy traction and it was a really pleasure to see this display in operation as well as learn about it's operation and construction.

3) National Capital Tracker President Jack Frost's Washington DC Mall module, complete with Cherry Blossom trees. Just a very, very well done scene that I really enjoyed taking in. ijn
