In image YORK 2014 1017-0191,I really like the horse corral.  Was it for sale or offered as a kit and do you recall the vendor?

 

Thanks again,

Don

I assume it was, i do not recall the vendor, but he was close to Nassau Hobbies booth in the orange hall, perhaps if you can get the Orange Hall map. The guy looking at the computer name is Paul Piker and had a booth at GG-2. So maybe it is his?

Great pictures, Chris.  Geez.....I'm glad I don't go....I'd be spending some serious cash with all those trains and dealers there.  So tell me....Ro, Gryzboski, Nicholas Smith, etc...certainly bring a boatload of product to the show.  Do they offer significant discounts below what you might typically see on their websites?

It was later in the afternoon Friday, started thinning out. I have never felt crowded in the Dealer halls its the members halls that get cramped

One difference between the dealer halls and the member halls is that in the latter, the table holders are seated in the aisles, whereas everywhere else there is room between each row of tables for the sellers to remain behind their tables. 

 

Think it's telling that cameras became so commonplace in the dealer halls that I didn't even notice this pic being taken:

Dunno what I was smirking at, other than the signs posted in a nearby dealer's booth, encouraging shoppers to "slim down their fat wallets" in order to help "pay for the cat psychologist" before the owner's "medication wore off"

Mainly due to narrow aisles, and the fact that dealers have to sit in those aisles, the member halls (not shown, Red, White, Silver, Blue) are MUCH more crowded than the ones shown (Orange, Purple).

Very nice shots

IMHO, the show is much more pleasant when the crowds are light. I was there Thursday and Friday until about 11:00. During the times I was in the Orange hall, it was never overly crowded. The member halls were congested at times.

That explains why the parking lot seemed fuller than usual when I arrived around Noon on Thursday.  Still plenty of spaces on the paved parking lots -- just would have parked a bit further away than usual were it not for a space two of my forum buddies saved for me behind the Brown Hall.  Thanks, Marshall and David!!!  

 

Now that I've been making York a day-trip for the past few years, I spend most of my time in the Orange Hall.  And it wasn't crowded at all on Thursday -- except a noticeable surge around 5PM when the member halls closed.

In my experience as a seller in one of the member’s halls, the Orange hall does get  crowded when the member's halls close which now happens at 5:00 PM.
