110 York photos

I wasn't able to go to York and have never been.

Thanks for posting the pictures!  Really enjoyed them.

Did Lionel have the new VL Big Boy there?

Great stuff, hope to make it to York one year.

Nice!

And people should keep in mind that all these photos were taken in roughly half the space used by the meet.  You have to come to York to see the rest...

Not this time around.  They only had the demo video that is available online.

Very nice, Chris!  You sure did take full advantage of the changed photography rule, and your shots provide an excellent example of what the meet is all about.  Of course, there is far more to see than Chris was able to present in 110 images, so those of you out there who have never attended should really make plans to do so in the near future--October, for example.

My thanks to the Eastern Division folks for permitting photos at the event.  I have no doubt that this type of exposure, on forums and elsewhere, will have a positive impact on attendance in the future.

I just returned from the York area an hour or so ago, so have a whole lot of catching-up to do, both on the forum and at the office.  I had the good fortune of being invited to the home of Pat and Jean Marinari after the meet, so just got back home today (Sunday).  I will write more about the meet and the operating session we enjoyed on Pat and Jean's fabulous layout.  Pat, Dave Hikel, Lynn Gaines, and your's truly were the operating crews, and I can assure you the first three know a whole lot more about conducting operations on a layout then I do.  Sure hope I'm invited back in the future so I can learn a whole lot more!

Very nice, thank you.

well done Chris,

Chris,

Thank you so much!  I think the York photos have finally convinced me I want to join in the fun!!

Nice photos Chris. I enjoyed the visit at our booth. See you next York!

Great stuff. Spent a FULL day there on Friday. worn out but happy!

great pics.

never been! would like to go.

maybe next year.

Nice set of photos. When people take pictures of events, they end up being posted online like yours were. That's free promotion for the Eastern Division. Judging by the appearance of attendance  there, they could use some help propping up the gate.

thanks for sharing! definatly need to get there.

Very nice photos. Thank you.

Most were taken later Friday after the crowds started thinning out. The Member halls seemed very crowded, especially Friday till about 1 pm, then they were empty. The Dealers halls were "comfortable" most of the time.

Dear Chris,

As a York fan wanna be York attendee, I can see what I have been missing and yes Alan, I agree that this beats the no picture rule by a Country Mile. I will be attending this October that's for sure. This has my imagination beat, hands down. Thank you very much!!

Get the good word out! Trains galore!!!!! MAMA MIA!!

Enjoyed the photos and thank-you for posting them for us who could not attend.  I have always wondered why photos were not permitted in the past.  Any rationale?

Lots of theories, no real facts. Let's just hope it never comes back

Just wondering was that the whole York or just part?........ Kidding really!

(Note to self: must clean this pool of drool!)

Thanks for sharing...great pics!

Chris great photo essay on York!

Thanks for the pics.  Never been to York, but it sure looks like heaven from where I'm sitting! 

I happened to look at my Flickr stats, the York set has over 66,000 hits (each hit is a photo view) since I posted them. Seems there is interest in the formerly secret going-ons at York

WOW!  Two hits came from me.

Thanks again for positing. The pictures especially make me want to attend!
