Is it time to start doing back flips in the halls again? One can only hope so. I actually had to get my TCA membership receipt sent over to prove it was up to date. I called the following day after the email to make sure things were going smoothly. All parties were extremely courteous to making sure everything was A-okay.

I am looking very forward to this as I have a shorter list than usual. I think last October my list was freelance, but I had somethings in mind. Naturally, see what comes.

@Mark Boyce hope things stay clear so you can make it. Hopefully I won't talk too much, lol. I know last October I really was chatting up everything, I even got to talk to Mike Reagan for a while.

I've got my ticket and am ready to go. But guys, when you plan travel this year, you've got to include OGR's 50th birthday party at the NJ HiRailers the Sunday after York. 

Eddie, you're going to pass right by, so simply plan on an extra day. Brian and Lynley, you should come also. We promise it won't snow (remember that white stuff). The more the merrier. It's going to be a party!

Dave , I hope to go and see you again!  I don’t really have anything particular to look for.  The event is worth it even if I don’t buy much.  Chatting is worthy use of the time 

Agreed Mark. I think last October I had quite a bit of fun helping Ed set up for the OGR meeting. Peter popped in a bit late and was telling Ed about someone selling a sealed set I think from 1954 or so, for $20,000 I believe. That blew my mind and Ed's as well. If I can find one of the two locomotives I've missed out on, I'll be happy with just that. Of course I would need to make sure I have enough money for that, gas, and food, lol.

Dave........you have a good memory......I had forgotten.......the price was a bit steep....$30,000 for a sealed N&W set from 1957.......

The freight set on top......

BTW.....it’s great that the LCCA has made the HSL digital archive available to members.....it took me all of 2 minutes to locate this page.

Yeah, that's it. I couldn't remember the price exactly, but knew it was somewhere up there. IIRC, you already had that same set, so no use buying that very expensive one.

Absolutely!  Looking forward to a fun packed extended weekend!

I've never been to York but have heard many wax poetically about it over the years.  Not this year, but I will have to go in 2020.

Kevin, I have only been there twice; Fall 2017, and Spring 2018.  While many who attended years ago are truthful in saying it isn't quite what it was then; it is far and away more than I have ever seen elsewhere!!  I hope to see you there next year!!

Where's the weather report?

Partly sunny with partly cloudy moving in with hot and cold on the side. October is a bit away, may want to dig out the Farmer's Almanac to see what it should be like. I know 2017's October was rather warm, like a hot spring without humidity. 2018's October was similar but much cooler in the morning and evening hours. As long as there's no rain, I'll be happy with whatever else pops up.

We'll have a drink for you Kevin. Hopefully I get in both April and October next year. I'm stoked, got a full head of steam, pistons are pumping, coal is fully loaded. Haha.

Gerry, I saw the notice just before we make our travel arrangements.  We added an extra day so Lynley and I will be there.  See you at York!

Dave, Do you mean Eddie G, the originator of this biannual topic, or someone who lives in York?

Eddie G lives in a state where the seasons are "almost winter, winter, still winter, and Black Fly season". 

It might have been Eddie, heck if I can remember. I usually remember about 90% or better of my day of work, and keep that in my head for weeks. Online stuff sometimes gets eroded away however. Of course, weather reports always change. When I went out to Yellowstone some years back with my sister and her two kids, it was supposed to be a nice spring week(mid May) and we got winter for two days of it. Last two days were summer.
