04/18/15 Strasburg Pa 2rl Show

Great Amish style food provided by the Strasburg Fire Company food staff- THE BEST FOOD AT ANY TRAIN SHOW.

 

 

...will there be grilled Keilbasa?

Can't wait. Lookin' forward to it.

Just too excited..........

Bummer. I see that the October show dates are the same as the TCA York show dates in 2015 and 2016. While I realize that virtually no one who attends the Strasburg shows attends the TCA show on Saturday this does not apply to me in relation to setting up the Sunset Models / Golden Gate Depot display at Strasburg.

 

Scott Mann and I attend the TCA shows and will need to be at York on those Saturdays although I would far prefer to be at Strasburg. I expect to receive suggestions saying Scott could stay at York and I could go to Strasburg. Sounds easy but it isn't. It would be rather difficult to duplicate our display at both locations. Plus, when we leave York I keep all the display racks, banners, products, etc, since Scott leaves to fly back to California so I need to be at York to pack everything up and bring it home.

 

I thought the Strasburg late year shows were scheduled for November as they were last year but situations change and I assume John and Rich needed to make this change to October. I repeat that I would rather be at Strasburg but it seems Sunset/GGD will not be at the Fall shows for the next two years at least.

 

Perhaps someone else will want to represent Sunset/GGD at these shows. If so, e-mail Scott Mann to make the offer.

Very good thought, Dave, and something I would probably do if I were the Strasburg show promoter. I believe the TCA will permit flyers for other shows to be placed in the lobby(ies) of display halls with permission from the Eastern Division and I would also be happy to place them on the Sunset tables with permission. What I don't know is if the other shows need to have a TCA sponsorship affiliation, but John and Rich are both TCA members.

Dear Bob, Dave,et al,

    The October 2015 and 2016 dates will be changed immediately. We had no idea this was the same weekend as York TCA and it would never be our intention to have some of our most valued Dealers- Bob Heil-3rd RAIL,Bob Lavezzi, and my own partner,Rich Yoder of RY Models-not attend our show.

    Due to all three holding a valuable table space in Orange Hall during the TCA York meet,many people do not realize they are required to be there or lose there space for future TCA York meets.

 

You don't poke the Bear!!! Thanks, John P.Dunn Sr. Scale2Rail Promotions.

John,

Thank you for your response. Glad to hear about it.

Bob

Right.  Not when he's busy....

 

John,

Any chance of a table with chairs, inside or outside, so one can sit and eat the delicious Amish food?

Regards,

Ed

Ed, Done!

Tables always set up with chairs next to admissions table. John

Dear List,

     Corrected/Updated October Strasburg Show dates as follows:

October 17th,2015 and October 15th, 2016. Please mark your calendars accordingly.

 

Hope to see you all the 18th.   John P.Dunn Sr. Scale2Rail Promotions

Thanks, John.

 

I'll make a note of the changes for OST.

Since I, apparently alone, attend both meets if possible, how about scheduling the

moved dates as the weekend BEFORE York weekend?  (I do not think I am the only

train nut that attends both meets, if there is no conflict and they are that week)

Meet is SOLD OUT. 110 tables of O scale 2 rail goodies. See you all the 18th.

Love it!

You mean...

I can just come up to the door and be granted entry?

Joe Public off the street?

I don't need a secret handshake, dog-whistle code pass words or silly-walk to peruse the sold-out tables of O scale 2 rail offerings and actually speak to like-minded hobbyists, vendors, movers-and-shakers?

O scale 2 rail is not something mystical and practiced only during a full moon?

'I can just come up to the door and be granted entry?'

 

sure, all you need do is fork over the admission fee

 

What goes on during a full moon is only for the fully initiated!

 

Movers & shakers will be restricted to outside in the parking lot:

 

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Strasburg. I've got 5+ tubs of cars (brass & others), kits (cars & structures), and trays of "stuff" packed up for this meet! And, do stop by the OST table!

Joining in with Martin's ape like chest thumping I will be bringing a good sized assortment of turnouts and display cases.  In the engine room along the inside wall.
