Hi Roger,

I would be appreciate it if you would put me on the list too. 

Looks like I will be with some distinguished company with you and the two "Al's"

Very much looking forward to it.

Ed Boyle

Thanks for joining us Ed, it will be a pleasure to meet you. Anyone else up for dinner with us on Friday night before the Lionel Customer Service Open House ? 

Roger,

  Did you put me down?

Thanks, Jeff

You betcha

We are looking forward to the trip and meeting everyone that we talk to on this forum.

Roger,

Nothing like joining such a distinguished company.

Ed Boyle

I want to sit next to Ed!!

Jeff

Anyone else? We are excited about our trip. Alan and I will be pulling up our tent stakes and heading east Tuesday morning. Looking forward to meeting all of the forum members that will be attending the Lionel event.

Please post here if you think that you will be able to attend our little gathering this coming Friday night.

Hope that everyone has a great week coming up.

Roger,

Put my wife and me on the list for dinner, we will be stopping by Mercer on the way out.

See you then.

Dennis

Roger,

   Add my wife to the list, She won't be babysitting all day friday so she'll be alert

(hope she doesn't see that!)

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Kevin

Thanks Dennis, I will add you and your wife to the list. Also, Kevin, I will add your wife also. Thanks for posting these.

Anyone else ??

Roger,

If possible, maybe a list of attendees and a head count would be helpful to make sure no one gets missed? Just a thought!

Thanks, See you there!

Hi Roger,

I can't make it on Friday night, but I really want to shake your hand and chat with you on Saturday. I'll be running around Lionel all day so let's try and chat for a bit then.

Derek

Thanks Derrick, sounds good. Looking forward to meeting you.

Well just got the lawn mowed before it started raining here again. Took a shower, packed and now getting ready to head to the big metropolis of Mountain Home, AR to pick up Alan Arnold. Looking forward to meeting everyone in Canfield, OH.

If anyone else wants to come and eat with us, you all are more than welcome to come Friday evening.

OK....spent the evening in the theater room with Mickey Selligman and Roger Wasson watching train videos and having great conversation.  Earlier when Roger arrived, around 3:30 this afternoon, a local friend, Joe Norcross came over and we ran trains.  After that, we all went over to Joe's place and enjoyed his big converted barn full of trains and other great collectibles including all kinds of automotive stuff, arcade games, you name it!!  Neat thing is all of us are members of the Mid America 3-railers so we had sort of a mini- meet!!

It is 11P.M. and everyone has retired for the evening...Roger is snoring up in the guest loft and I am gonna get some sleep right after I post this.  We will be leaving from here, Mountain Home, at around 6A.M. tomorrow morning.  Can't wait to meet all of you that will be attending the dinner Friday evening!

See you then...

Alan

Just an update on our travels. We are resting for the rest of the night here in Greenfield, IN. We took a detour and stopped at my favorite steak house in Bloomington, IN. I think it is the BEST steak in the good ole' USA. But I am sure that you all feel the same way about your favorite restaurant also.

We should be in the Canfield area by mid afternoon, Wednesday.

We are still talking to each other, so all is well. When you drive 450 miles and both of you love O gauge, there is a LOT to talk about.

See you all Friday.

Looking forward to seeing you folks.  Stop by the office when you get here.

Hi Roger, Have a safe trip.  While you were eating steak in Bloomington, we had dinner tonight at Marley's Dinner House in Ozark.  It's good to have "Riverside"

meals again.  See you soon. R. Smith

Well....it is 6:45A.M......we are ready to go and about to load the car for our final hop, skip, jump to the OGR World Headquarters!!  We are scheduled to first stop by to visit Mike at the Lionel Service Center and then on to OGR. 

Neat thing about all of this is that Roger doesn't snore as much as my wife!!LOL!!!...hope she isn't reading this!

See you guys soon...

Alan
