I get nostalgic for the yellow and gold halls. Crowded and chaotic, but they had a lot of character.
I miss the array of new products from the manufacturers that are no longer there. Weaver, Aristocraft, K-Line, Pride Lines and Arttista all come to mind.
Gone too is the Green Hall and the gentleman with the homemade trains. My sons were young then. Every York they would always head to his display to push those trains back and forth.
Mostly I miss those York friends that have passed. However, I'm thankful for the memories and the chance to have known them.
Time moves on and things change. The great thing about York is the opportunity to have new experiences and make new memories. Still anticipate these meets even after attending for a quarter century.

Just curious.. what kinds of engines were the homemade engines? I know a guy who made his own CNJ and Reading camelbacks as well as PRR E6's.
