Who's going to the Strasburg meet on the 14th?

I am Marty.

I plan to attend this one.  It's a hike from Cincinnati, but it will kick off a week-long trip that will end at the NMRA regional convention in Altoona the next weekend.  You guys always seem to have good meets, hope this one isn't a dud!

The Bentley will be attending.

My lovely bride and I should be attending...that is the plan right now!

What Strasburg meet are you talking about?

The best Strasburg meet.   It has been around for years, 3 times a year, April, August and October.   It is an O scale show that usually has mostly 2 rail rolling stock, but all sorts of other stuff usable for both 2 and 3 rail.

Thanks for the heads up on the show.

Rufus,

Please contact me, my contact is in my profile. Thank you.

There are two of us coming from the Detroit area for this great show. We make a week trip out visiting the local sites and other places between home and Strasburg.

See you there,

Al

Al,

Actually 3 1/2 from our area.    I am going along with a friend from Florida who used to live in this area.

Dear Guys,

I will be there hopefully with the Lambert loco works PRR G39 ore car prototype sample.
Also a great auction benefiting 100% of the auction proceeds to the Strasburg Fire Company.

Can anyone tell me the name of the vendor at this show show makes and sells the 3d printed pilots?  I lost the business card.

Thanks

Ron

Just curious.....are they (pilots) steam or diesel or both? Made to order?

They had all sorts of diesel pilots.  They may have had steam,  I wasn't looking so did not pay attention.

Assuming they make to order if they don't have any in stock.  We can both find out from the website if someone else who goes to Strasburg can help me remember the vendors name.

Martin Carl Dimino and I will be there with 3 tables full of parts , cars and lots of different items.  Going to bring a few three rail things in case any of our three rail buddies attend.   So you train folks  come in out of the rain say Hi to some really nice folks, maybe even make a couple of new friends .   

                                          AND MAYBE FIND THAT PART OR TRAIN CAR YOU HAVE BEEN SERCHING FOR!  YOU NEVER KNOW UNLESS YOU TAKE A LOOK 1

I hope to see you all there.

Despite a wet drive to and from Strasburg, attendance was good, sales were solid (ok, mine were...), and over a $1k was raised auctioning off the layout, structure, and the rest to benefit the fire station.

Lots a great deals and bargains that I passed on (regretting more than a few now...) but being in a pretty strict liquidation//purge mode, very little came home with me (detail parts like brass brake wheels...) other than the unsold stuff.  As usual, unpredictable what sort of stuff sells but as long as some does, objective met!

If you were not there, you missed a good show.  Next Strasburg show is April 13th.

I missed the show for personal reasons.  Can anyone shed some light on the "Collection from out of our area",  the predominant road, the quality of the items, etc?

Thanks,

Ed

It was a great show, as always. I never come home empty handed, and it’s always good seeing everyone. Attendance was good.

Was supposed to be a collection coming in from Cincinnati predominately B&O//PRR. No idea if it was ever there....I took a few spins about the meet to look at what I was not going to buy and stayed close to my tables most of the day.

Have to confess that this show seems to break up earlier and earlier now. Folks were packing up at noon,   We hung around for a while after the auction was done but its end seemed to be the signal for everyone else to start packing.

Does make for a slightly better drive home on a rainy drive....
