Post your impressions and pics of the Bandit Needs here.......

Billy Budd is in the Sheraton Four Points.

It is small but chock full of Postwar and Prewar.

I didn't take pics there because in the big room the lighting was poor.

Bigger crowd there today.

The Wyndham is a large meet......and more sellers and buyers today......

Yesterday's pics:

What did I see:

The usual piles of junk.

Lots of Prewar, both Standard and O gauge. Many handsome complete sets....I just walk by them without looking at the prices. Some clean OO sets and some boxed Lionel Postwar HO.

Tons of boxed Plasticville. Some of it priced high. Most priced to sell.

Minimal stuff with modern electronics. Lots of MPC and pre-TMCC/RS LTI. The non-electronic stuff was priced to sell.

Lots of Flyer which I don't really look at.......

Incredible amounts of Postwar in very  good to excellent condition. Some prices high, but most acceptable and nothing like the crazy prices of 1995-2005........and, people are dealing.

More boxed sets than I can remember.....they run the gamut of the late 40s till the mid 60s. Since I was born in 53, I tend to remember the ones from 56-64 best.....

At least two 2507s (1958 New Haven freight sets......VG to excellent). At least two New Haven F3 ABs for separate sale. The Denver  &Rio Grande sets from 57 & 58. The Virginian rectifier set from 1958; the one with the twin bin dump car and porthole caboose.

The M&StL diesel work train from 1958. A few Sante Fe F3 passenger sets.

The Boston and Maine Alco AB set which if my memory serve me, is from 1959.

Two Postwar Santa Fe Alco freights. One with the Warbonnet AA and one the I believe came later with a Warbonnet AB.

A boxed Navy AB Alco set.

Two Super O general sets( engine 1872) . Both boxed. One Good the other Excellent.

Boxed Bosco milk cars......I saw one or two in the $400 dollar range. Most were in the low $200s.

......and there is always stuff that is ridiculous like a $1200 #3435 Aquarium car........but I never thought I would see the day where there was a Jade Green, boxed 6464 box car for $80......and, people were willing to deal

I was overwhelmed!

I'll be interested in what others think.

I made it to the Wyndham this afternoon (thanks Peter for letting us know it was going on).
There are lots of trains out there in the world to be had still.  Not much modern stuff, though I got a modern MTH tank car and modern Kline vat car that caught my eye.  Also Anton (one of the first tables on the right) hooked me up with some super trees kits to add to my structure building plans.

Saw Kenner Star wars items here for the first time - a couple Falcons and an At-At if you are in the market   Also lots of just stuff like Peter stated.  Not so much strictly O scale anymore.  HO, Flyer, model kits, random toys.  I wonder if any of that non O scale or Flyer stuff sells at these meets.

People seemed to be packing up and unpacking at 2:30 which is perplexing.

Also one booth had several foam sections of scenic mountains with trees that looked cool but I did not investigate further.

Beautiful 72 degree sunny weather also.

I hope you all have a great York weekend and find what you're looking for!
