This year’s spring meet was my 5 yr old grandson, Chase’s second visit to the TCA York meet. He enjoyed every minute of his day.
He had a day planned out.
1) Go to Nicholas Smith Trains, purchase Diesel from Thomas and Friends
2) Stop by the WB&A Children’s Corner
3) See Coaster Dynamics - again, and again, and again
We did everything on his plan, and more.
I’d like to thank all of you who made his day a happy event. Train folks, for the most part are a great group !
Special thanks to:
* Vince, & Trainpop who gave us a base of operations at Vince’s trains
* Chris Ganz, Nicholas Smith Trains, who made Chase’s special purchase even better, taking time to talk about the locomotive, and topping off his sale with a chocolate chip cookie.
* Jim Barrett, OGR. We watched the video last night, and he has new favorite locomotive! And yes, he's been through the magazine twice! It even went to school with him today.
* Lionel Trains staff, who let him run the new remote Polar Express, and never rushed him to move on.
Folks who took time to talk to a little guy: Mike Wolf@MTH, RPO Trains, Dunham Studios, Coaster Dynamics-he loves your roller coasters, but Lionel had a remote, and took top visited number away from you this year, 4 to 3, and Centerline.
WB&A, great job as before. The ladies, and gentlemen there do a great job with providing a rest area for us older folks and a great play area for the kids. Chase loves his drawing give a way, too.
BEAR OWEN who shared a secret, and yes, Bear, he's keeping it to himself!
I’m probably missing someone, but if so, it wasn’t purposely done.
Thank you all for helping making a special day even better for a little guy who loves trains!
