Times, location etc.    I am going to be in PA around that time, and would try to get over there if the scheule premits, but I have no idea where and what time, just a date.

You might consider getting O Scale Trains magazine and looking at the Events Calendar, or try visiting the O Scale Trains site where the information and flyer has been posted si8nce last year (new one up now that goes into 2018!!!), or looking in on some of the O Scale Yahoo groups.

Or....

I'll be there with the last of Gerry Brown's estate.  The good stuff includes Key E7 ABA PRR units, a PSC K4, and PSC coaches. Also lower end stuff includes built up Old Pullman switches and Intermountain cars with metal wheels.  I will also have a few of my own models, including a mint Car and Locomotive Shops Western Maryland J1 Potomac. It has never been run.

What doesn't sell will probably go to a dealer or tax exempt club. 

I have not missed this show since its beginning.  When the Eastern O Scalers ran this show in Denver PA and Wind Gap, I was their also.  Wind Gap was a great name for that fire hall location...not much around there but a nice fire hall.   A four hour meet in Strasburg is great as far as I am concerned.  Living only 75 minutes from Strasburg I was very pleased when they moved to this location.  Strasburg has plenty of things to do in the area with the Strasburg Railroad, The TCA Museum and the Pennsylvania State Railroad Museum only ten minutes from the fire hall where the meet is held.  The folks at the fire hall put together some simple food and drink for the attendees and often times they have some wonderful chicken corn soup available.

My wife and another couple usually spend the weekend in the area at the Fall and Spring meets and the wives can take in the outlets and specialty shops while my buddy and I attend the meet.

As I get older seeing other O scale friends has become more important than acquiring more train stuff.  I have enough projects in house to keep me building O scale for many years.  I would suggest if you are coming from a distance to this meet to plan on spending a couple of days in the area taking in the other rail and non rail activities that are available.

Lancaster County PA is a great place to visit.

Super meet, broad selection, great prices, many tables of repair parts, tables of Weaver left overs, nice hosts, clean rest rooms, free parking &  friendly faces.  A great way to kick off a railroad themed weekend!

Call for a table and bring your excess baggage.  I have had tables there for years, excellent experience,

A trip to Strasburg is not complete without a stop by the Railroad station for a real steam engine experience then cross the street to one of the finest  and biggest 1:1 railroad museums in the country with a wide variety of early and transition era engines and cars.

Walk around, thru, under in the pits and over on the catwalk to view what must be a few acres of indoor trains and much more outdoors.

Strasburg is a great 0 scale train show and so much more.  All within a one mile distance.

You blokes don't know how good a life you have, a great place to live. Very lucky, I'm envious. Nothing like that over here. Roo.

Do you think I could find these at this show ? Weaver 4 bay high side. Prod. #4902                                                               Clem

 

Possible but no guarantees.  I see and find totally unexpected stuff every meet in Strasburg....and sometimes I even buy it!
