You sell on fleabay???

Yes but I am liking it less and less. The fees are at an all time high and everything is geared toward the buyer now it's my last resort
Can't wait for this great event!! Count me in!

Alex,
Are we allowed to bring some trains to run, do you have a curve of O82 or larger. Looking for a nice layout to run my Atlas 21" Amtrak cars on, can you run WBB conventional engines.
I would love to be there Alex but mid to late August is my busy time at work and won't be able to take any day's off around that time. Have fun guys.
parking,
anyone who helps gina, set up and clean up should get choice parking, that is a lot of work, for that many people, and gets Alex's slippers. beverage assistant ,,

Hi Pete,
Feel free to bring trains to run, my outer main is 088, my inner main is 080. As for conventional we can just use the throttle on my Z4000.
Thanks, Alex

Hi Riki,
Will you be in attendance ?
Thanks, alex
Looking forward to it Buddy!
Alex, I sure would love to be there for your open house. I'll be flying home from Italy that day so I'll wave on the way passed!
2930 Miles for me, just looked it up. In the Pacific NW, we're used to long drives to get anywhere, but that's a little too long a drive even for me...
The funny thing is I was right in your area in September with my wife and some friends...
Alex,
Add two more to your guest list, my wife and I will be attending!
We will see you then.
Best Regards,
Michael
Alex, I will be bringing Guy along.

Do you have valet parking arranged yet? 
Alex,
I figured I would join in for the first time. I've never been to another operator's home for an open house, but there's a first time for everything. I'm less than an hour away from Staten Island.

You'll be hooked, look to have a great time.
Alex and Dina,
Wish I could make it but I will be in South Carolina on vacation - have a great day.

Glad to see you are going to attend, you won't be disappointed.

LAST CALL !!!! for our open house on August 27th 12pm to 6pm
EMAIL ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND. My email is in my profile.
Thanks
Alex
Alex, one day hope to make it out there and see the layout.
All you folks are very generous to have these open houses and open invites for us to attend.
Alex, I had RSVP'd earlier but I'm sorry to say I will not be able to attend this year. Just found out that's the same day that my daughter has to move back into her dorm, so I'll be away on a long Road Trip that weekend! Hope the weather cooperates and you all have a great day.
Hi Alex
I thought I had RSVP'd earlier, but didn't.

Sorry Alex, but unfortunately I have a conflict. I'm going to miss seeing everyone. Hope to see you soon though.
The s...l...o..w interminable march of time to this event is as painful as awaiting each approaching York! At least we are now in the same month! I can't wait especially after seeing the video of the layout the other day!
-- Greg
Alex,
Unfortunately, cannot make it as I also have a conflict. All the best and have a great day
Alex,
I am coming that day even though I have opted to give my son my Jets/Giants preseason ticket so he will take his girlfriend and I can join in the festivities. Marty and the rest of the anti-Jets crew will appreciate me coming to the pre-tune up party for York!
I will be there with an appetite. Too bad I will not have any of those crummy Nabisco Cookies to bring!
Sorry for the late reply...Kathy and I will be there.
Thanks Bob
