Reply to "York Haul aka What did you get"

Very little, which was more found than some recent shows lately. Did find two pairs of Walthers archbar trucks, always glad to find anybody's archbars with no zincpest.  Just clamps, as tools, for structure building. The great thing was what l saw, and drooled over. Bachmann had their two truck Heisler l want in three rail, but l think people are converting these to On3. (which l have considered and rejected for logging branch).  The G scale Mack railbus was still running in the dealer hall.  AND somebody had what looked like a partial kit (maybe it came with trucks removed and was complete and not a kit) for a real brass O scale model of a Little River 2-4-4-2!!  It was priced at what Sunset could probably deliver a three rail version for..so l very reluctantly walked on. And l saw for the first time at York the Lionel C&O F-19 with all the trimmings and that tender l want three of.  If that had been the Mikado made.... l would have glommed it.  With all the reruns, (l THINK the F-19 and Mikado used same boiler..) maybe Lionel could rerun the shell and stick eight drivers under it?  Saw a lot of Marx 3/16 and deluxe plastic, which has been a scarce at previous Yorks l have attended recently.  Oh, found out that Atlas has made billboard reefers of interest to me, l was unaware of...#90, in neither roadname, was not there...at least not in O..and more..very interesting York.
