Reply to "York Train Show."

@jim sutter  I wish I was going, but car issues took extra money out of my train funds. Finally got my car back, without any issues(knock on oak tree). If I was going, my favorite place to stop and look around is in the Purple Hall. My local train store owner is in there which I always stop by each day to see how they're doing, but that is only part of it. I love going over to the one vendor that has the tinplate Marx and Lionel stuff in the back. To this day I still have yet to buy anything off of that guy. I think in 2021 either he wasn't there or had less of what his usual stock was.

I always take in all the sights of York, make sure I talk to as many people as I can. I stop by just about every booth and chat to those that I always talk to(Orange Hall). Last October I talked with one of the vendors who was selling Atlas Reefers. I chatted with him quite a bit, gave me a good deal on those I bought. Later at York on Saturday I bought more Atlas Reefers in the Purple Hall at one of the vendors I had bought a few things before.

The other things I enjoy the most is the layouts. Seeing trains run has always been one of the best things other than seeing real ones run. Last year I think I took more layout pictures/videos than in the past. Scott Smith's club had a Standard Gauge layout in the Orange Hall just up from the Lionel booth which I would say was a big hit. I actually got a chance to talk with Scott and show my appreciation for his contributions on the forum here. I had seen him at other York's, but never at the right time to chat with him.

I hope everyone has a great time this coming York, and gets to find those great bargains/finds that they want or couldn't believe they found. Hopefully next year things are great for me so I can get to attend. See what comes I guess.
