Eddie G,
You are expected to be at this York since the York officials might have to shut down operations for future shows if you do not attend! Lol!
Stay warm and see you in 83 days!
Wonderful news.......a true sign that Spring is coming soon!

Got my Member Meet Notice in the mail yesterday.
My meet notice came on Thursday. A sure sign that spring is around the corner!
I'm usually not focused on part-buying at York but this year I need to pick up a few parts - what vendors are there that sell reproduction pre-war wheels?
I seem to recall there being at least one booth with them but struggling to recall who it is.
How many more blizzards until then?
Badge arrived today.
EAST COAST TRAIN PARTS AND JEFF KANE.
Pre war wheels. Try Joe at JLM Trains booth in the orange hall. His booth is set up directly across Trainz.com.
OR
You can email him at Joe@JLMtrains.com and ask him if he has what you need. Joe is a good friend of mine.
Finally! Been waiting for this post to start!

I can think of 3 parts vendors off the top of my head who brought a lot to York - Train Tender (Kane), East Coast, and Win Becker. Trainz has some, and Hennings might bring something if you ask. Neely's had a lot of tables of junk and parts, but you had to pick through it, nothing is priced, and they gave high quotes on what I found. I didn't have a lot of luck with prewar parts at York last time, so suggest that you contact vendors well in advance to see if they have what you want.
Hennings is making new cast wheels. Their add is in the header.
