After a one Meet hiatus, Traindiesel will come back to..... YORK, PENNSYLVANIA!!!
Ahhhh, what a rush!!
It's no fun to miss a York meet. Welcome back, Brian!

John, it was no fun at all to miss the York Meet in October. It was just too close to our move date. It’ll just make April’s Meet that much sweeter!
there is always a countdown...
Almost at the 1 month away mark.....it's getting here slowly but surely.

You have access to a lot of southeastern PA treasures. Enjoy the trip. Gettysburg, just up the road, Rt 30. A little further south, Maryland, Antietam national historic site, C&O Canal, Harper's Ferry, etc. Some say the trip, on the PA turnpike, is a historic event. We continue to improve the turnpike, and charge outrageous prices, but there is EZ Pass.
Weather is all over the place. Pretty good chance of rain, snow not so much in April, but still a possibility. I would bring a heavy coat, and maybe some rain gear. Welcome to Pennsylvania.
Have fun, Mike CT.
Is an updated version of Clem's York primer available yet? If so, please provide a link.
I've searched TCA and ED websites, but can't find anything current.
Thanks.
Latest I've seen is Fall 2017
Getting closer.
I got the TCA bulletin about the show on Friday, I wish I could make it. Still hoping to pop back in October and maybe next year I can do both. Make sure you all have a good time, be waiting to see pictures.
Eddie,
Ok so we are getting closer..... where's the weather report? Lol!
This years York will be a nice distraction from a hectic year this far. I'll be looking forward to picking up my Millhouse Turn Table and doing a little shopping and a lot of socializing. I'm starting to realize once my Scale Polar Express comes in I am probably on the downside of train buying so York has become more about friends than the hunt of new trains. With less than a month to go the next few weeks are busy with the launch of a new mobile unit, NAB show, and then vacation at York.
I am also on the "downside" of buying and much more into schmoozing. I have been for a while. If there a lot of us, this is probably a bad thing for York. And I know Marty Fitz would disagree with me, but you can only have so many trains.
But I really do LOVE the York experience.

Got our badges today in the mail.
You Guys out in the East Coast are so lucky!! This is something I have always wanted go to out there. One of these days....my wife has told me whenever I am ready... She likes going with
Joe Gozzo
My bride Wendy and I will be there. We have our badges, hotel reservation, etc. already. Going as regular members this time around since the OGR booth setup will be a bit different. We will be sharing space in the Orange Hall with Mr. Muffin's Trains (Steve and Liz Nelson) because they are now handling the Ameri-Towne and other OGR product lines following our "de-centralization" of the OGR operation late last year when we closed the larger office facility we had here in Poland, Ohio. Rich and Linda Melvin now work out of their home office in Hilliard, OH, and I work out of my new home office here in Poland, OH.
Jim Barrett, Ed Boyle, and I will be attending the April Meet and will be at Steve's booth area.
Allan, You got a wife instead of a dog? 
Allan, Thank you for the heads up on where you folks will be this go round. I had seen your other information on decentralizing, but hadn't known that Steve was going to handle the Ameritown line. It all sounds smart to me!

Such class?

Got both. Wendy has a dog and she (Kali) was part of the package.
Well I just committed my York money on a pick-up-at-York sale from a Forum member! Shuck, now I just have to go! 
How many days until the net countdown?
I only saw part of the news this morning about a fire in York. I am not sure exactly where, but I believe the building they said was an old warehouse that caught on fire. Any of you hear about it?
There was an old piano and organ factory that was going to be converted into apartments on the north east side of the city that burnt. It’s maybe a little over a mile by way the crow flies from the fair grounds. Two firefighters were killed, one from the building collapsing.
****, I had thought but wasn't sure about who was killed. A firefighter also was killed in NYC yesterday as well.
Less than 3 weeks to go.
here you go ED .

Its good to see that your priorities are in the right order. After York, you have six months to get the procedure and them heal.

My car was in the shop for repair when the badge came. I’ll have to move it to the car, hang it on the rear view mirror. Kind of like the kids who hung their high school graduation tassels from the mirror. By the time I got a car, a ‘69 Ford Galaxy XL, I didn’t want anyone to think I just graduated. LOL
This will be my first York ever - looking forward to the event and meeting some OGR folks in person! The wife and I will be there Thursday and Friday!
I will be going to my 67th straight York. I have not missed one since I joined the TCA. Nothing stops me from going even one time I had broken bones in my foot and didn't go to the doctor till after York week. Yes it was sore and had problems walking but hey, it was York.

I actually did postpone it. It wasn't really just about York, but shhhh, don't tell anybody. This makes for a better story.
Just a little over 2 week to go.
Unfortunately I will have to miss this York meet , duty calls ! Hope you all enjoy ! Buy lots of trains ! See you all for the October meet
Enjoy !
