I have no train items that I want to buy, but I'll be attending York anyway.

That was me in April.  Before Ben hit me up at breakfast for 2 of the NJ Hi-Railers run of beer reefers and before Mr Muffin had that PRR Y3 at a price too good to pass up.  And I don't even have a layout at the moment!

Hence, in October I really have no train items that I want to buy!

And Ben didn't hit you up for the second car? I hope you got the first one by now and love it. Following a trend here, the second car is the PIELS BROTHERS CAR (remember Bert and Harry). You can order off our website, www.NJHiRailers.com.

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the first cars and yes, Ben did hit me up for the Piels car which I did order!

Always looking forward to York - particularly October. Something about the October show I prefer over April. Just seems to be this extra excitement in the air, getting colder, fall colors, etc. Love it!

I'm the champion of the 1 day marathon trip. I live a 2 hour, super easy drive from the Fairgrounds (through the mountains and beautiful small PA towns). I make it through every building, twice, in one LONG Friday.

This year, to quench my desire to drive back on Saturday (but never do), I booked a hotel, will be there Thursday, Friday and Saturday as of now. To help recover, and most importantly, play with what I buy, I also took the following Monday and Tuesday off!

Good for you!  Finally, someone who is willing to use those hard-earned vacation days for a little personal enjoyment.

Oh, believe me, I've got no problem using them....sometimes I burn through the time faster than I accrue it! 

Taking nearly 2 weeks off in June/July to go West to visit Family and Ride the Southern Pacific 4449 for 2 days put a good dent in the time I had! IMG_6817

Well, as a retiree working as a contractor for my old company, I don't get any paid vacation anymore.  That's okay, the small pension checks that are deposited in my account the first of every month make up for it.    We have a slow period right now before starting the next phase of a multi-year project, so I was cut back to working 3 days a week starting today.  I don't even have to tell the manager I won't be in the Thursday and Friday of York Week.

It's looking like I'm going to miss October's Meet. It will be just a couple weeks after our move, there will be too much to do. Add that I'll go from a 75 minute drive to a five hour plane ride to get to York making it a bit daunting to get there so soon after the move.  April will be more likely. 

But I never say never! 

Where are you moving to?

San Diego, California. 

Specifically to Escondido, CA., just a little bit north of SD. 

think about joining the san diego 3 railers.

feel free to stop in sometime and talk to any of us we can hook you up.

I took 2 days off for Thursday and Friday.  I'll be staying through Saturday this year and am contemplating a Monday vacation day as well. 

I have to agree that the fall York is much more exciting to me as it really does start the Holiday Season for me at least in mind. 

Marty, I think you really nailed it regarding the holiday season. That's why the Fall is always the better York. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.......

Plus you don't smell the fertilizer like you do in the Spring.
