The Fall O Gauge Railroading Forum Meeting will be held in the GOLD HALL, opposite the Orange Hall, starting at 2PM. on the York, PA Fairgrounds during the Train Collector's Association Eastern Division Meet on Friday, October 19th.

The OGR Forum Meeting is a fast paced set of industry presentations filled with insights, information, and, as always, some laughs. The Meeting is a blend of information and entertainment designed to give you the maximum amount of news about what is happening in the O gauge hobby in about one hour.

The Spring 2018 Forum Meeting will feature the latest developments in new products, electronics and other O gauge vendor happenings, so if you are on the York Fairgrounds at 2 PM on Friday October 19Tthst come join us and don't miss it!

If you can't join us in person, Steve Nelson, of Mr Muffins Trains, will record and report on all the news that is fit to relate and then some, which will be posted separately on the OGR Forum.

SURPRISES; There are several new speakers who will appear at our meeting on Friday afternoon, but you will have to join us in the GOLD HALL to hear them in person.

The following companies that are scheduled to participate, besides our new speakers, are;

  • Atlas Model Railroad Company
  • Korber Models of Atlanta, Indiana
  • Lionel L. L. C.
  • Mianne/Foley Benchwork
  • Miller Engineering
  • MTH Electric Trains, Inc.
  • Ross Custom Switches
  • Sunset Models-Third Rail
  • Trainworx

SPECIAL NOTE! We really could use some folks to come to the GOLD HALL a few minutes early and help us set up the chairs for the Forum Meeting. It is a wonderful way to get a bit of good, clean exercise ! Plus, it is a great way to meet new O gauge friends.

Ed, 

The Kids’ Creek Railroad has teamed up with Kids Run Trains and East Carolina Railroaders to build a wonderful kid-friendly and interactive railroad in the promenade of the Orange Hall. This will be the second time ever a railroad has been featured in this location. All OGR members are welcome to come enjoy playing with toy trains.

Running multiple LEGACY and LionChief locomotives on a 10’x40’ FasTrack Modular Railroad is a great way to start off the busy season of model Railroading.  Bonus: A lengthened inline switchyard and several sidings that are great for switching operations. Bring your skills and test your medal while avoiding NTSB investigations!

Oh yeah!!!  METCA will be operating some of its rolling stock on the railroad and across its stock module.

All aboard!

What happens to the people who cant go to York . People who purchase products from the manufactures that display at York. People who would like to be part of this secret closed door society called York. People that would maybe purchase or order more if they knew what was offered . we used to see manufacturers talking on videos -that seems to be gone. pictures----none . Is this promoting our hobby !!!!  I'm searching  the forum looking for news ,innovations, new issues, new manufactures,   how does York promote this great hobby of ours to the people who cant attend and want to be on top of what's happening in our hobby.

Marty Track, the answer is as close as you turning your gaze to the right of this page and clicking on the Trainworld post..."Can't make it to York?"...

They are long time Forum sponsors and the video updates are alot of fun to watch and get up to date info on York. I live in California, will probably never make it to York. This is a good option to stay in touch.

I think this is what @marty track should be looking for @John Meyncke.

Some time tomorrow Ken Jr. will be doing this 8:30 live(give or take a minute or two). According to his post, it will be on FB Live(here https://www.facebook.com/TrainWorldLLC/ ) which should pop up. I think later on it will be on YouTube, but it should pop there right away at 8:30. Ken Jr. does a great job IMHO to try and catch everyone of the manufacturers and ask usually what is on anyone's mind(he tries to take as many questions live as possible which isn't easy). Hopefully you can catch this and see what you could be looking for, or something else. Who knows, see what comes and good luck.
