I thought that cell phones were not allowed at York, but I must have missed something, as I saw many using their phones. I have no gripe with that, but was just curious. The other thing is that I heard an announcement of 'no picture taking', yet I saw someone take a pic with their phone. (cat eat the canary?). If cell phone are allowed and appropriate apps installed you would be running York Wi-Fi layouts from your phone.

Cell Phones YES, since last April's York. It was still listed as a no in the April members announcement but was announced before the show that cell phones were OK. The October announcement removes the no cell phones notice
Pictures still No, although Lionel has published a few on their Facebook page taken before the meet.

Actually we did that at the MTH booth, bring your phone and run their trains. Also found if you were still far away from their booth you could still run their trains

Was access to those those layouts "open" and not requiring a password or code for access?
yup access was open since it was a bring your phone and try it demo. Then again unless they were going to change the access every few hours we would have still had it when we left
