I am in China right now checking samples and the assembly of our E5 and E6 Diesel Production Run, and Golden Gate Depot Heavy Weight Car production. Coming back next week and then off to PA for the York Show the week after. Bob and I will be there showing off our new stuff and taking pictures of the C&O #490 Hudson at the B&O Railway Museum.
York has always been a great place to have face time with our customer base and grow that base.
Roy'z Trains will be selling our ERR Kits and offering "Free" Advise, if you buy kits that is. There will be new models there and new projects to discuss. The hobby has been good to us. We don't see a decline in overall sales, but we do see reduced audience.
I too feel the show should be just once a year and we will probably follow that routine starting next year. I'ts pretty expensive with Airfare, hotel, car rental for a show that should really just be a day and a half. Those were such exciting times. We had people 3 and 4 deep trying to get their questions and comments in. Now, with everyone having 3 days, no one is in a rush for anything. I think the TCA should go back to the old formula that worked and make it once a year.
See ya'll there.
