I didn't really know what York was until I was in my 30's.  Attended my first one at the ripe old age of 37 and I never stopped.  Just curious how old most people were when they first attended.  Yeah, yeah I know this is kind of a York topic but everyone hangs out here so I thought it would be fun to know.  BigRail

After being introduced to TCA by a friend, I attended my first York meet in 1979 or 1980. I was 28 at the time but since the local NJ shows were booming, I didn't start attending York regularly until about 10-12 years ago when all but two of the local shows began to fade out. This year we have decided to cut back the York trip to only the Oct. fall event. Since the train overload here has reached critical mass (from 30+ years of collecting), one York event should allow sufficient opportunity to pick up the odd pieces and say hello to everyone. I find it strange that when I first started going to the shows most of the guys were in their 20's and 30's. Today many of the same people are still there but in their middle age and golden years. Times have changed but we are still having fun.
