Reply to "York: the “I had a good time” thread"

I talked with the gentleman who owns that SUV in October during the Wednesday TCA Museum open house at the restaurant at the Red Caboose motel.  I just commented as he was walking in that I thought it was one of the best paint jobs of that style I've seen.  He was kind enough to stop and chat for a few minutes and also showed me some photos of his home layout, which he has suspended from the ceiling.  It was quite a nice job too.  The truck I think he said was a Honda, but the only place the manufacturer name  or logo remains is on the steering wheel center.  The only badging on the exterior is PRR .

As to the meet, it definitely seems to be less people buying (not just my observation, other member sellers I talked to also), but I don't bring a lot to sell to begin with(just a single table), so I can't complain too much.  There are some items that will still sit no matter how much you lower the price these days.

I did buy a few things, so I consider it a good meet for me even with the low sales.  Picked up some items at the TCA Museum tent sale, and then some rolling stock pieces, as well as a last minute purchase of an ERR AC commander and Electric Railsounds kit for a project.

Oh, and a crab cake yesterday. .  I'm not from crab cake country , but I've enjoyed them a lot over the years.  I used to get one every day, but it's harder with a table.  I don't think they generally are open long enough before the meet opens on Thursday to grab one before manning the table.  I got away a little yesterday while a friends wife sat at my table.  Today I stayed closer to my hall and just had some chicken tenders.

If we are counting, I think this was my 45th consecutive York.  (not as a table holder though, only been doing that for about 4-5 years)
