I'm getting more and more reports of traffic issues on I81, so I may leave at 6AM Thursday. I'm not sure if this will make travel any faster, but I certainly don't want to sit in traffic, and not get to the hall in time to set up. I may pop in to say hello if I get there in a reasonable amount of time. It is about a two hour drive under normal travel conditions, so that would put in in York between eight and eight thirty. Don't save me a seat, as I wouldn't want to take a seat from someone else. I've met some of the folks on the list, so I'm sure I would be able to find such a rowdy bunch huddled around Peter chanting, "Scrapple Scrapple Scrapple"!

Don

Peter,

 

I will have a friend with me, so sign me up for 2.

 

Thanks,

Richard

I don't understand how you are going to do this. What if all the tables are taken when you guys arrive?

Eddie.....I have spoken to the manager and he's keeping the back section open for 30+ people arriving about 8:30AM next Thursday. The reservation is under my name.

The manager was very accommodating and seemed delighted.

 

Peter

We dispense some "train room justice" on those offending folks who have the audacity to sit at our tables.

 

--Greg

Peter, The manager is a great guy. His name is Liviu Hotea. I have brought him a ton of train people since I started going there almost 20 years ago. You can give my seats to someone else. We may not be there till a little later. Liviu takes care of us. Ed

Now to get your mouths watering.....the menu. Remember to check under specials. That's where the seasonal favorites like pumpkin pecan pancakes are!

Great idea to post the menu Peter.  I won't have to think about what I want for breakfast and more time to talk trains!  I think I'm leaning toward the pumpkin pancakes!  

thanks peter for all your hard work ,will see yunz on thurday am  

Firmly ensconced in my room after a busy day of hiking and train watching.

Looking forward to a good nights sleep and seeing everyone at the diner bright eyes and bushy tails.

 

 

Depending on traffic, I may make it in time. I usually leave about 8:30, but road construction has me concerned, so I'm leaving at 6 bells. If traffic is moving, I should pull in about 8:30.

Don

Breakfast was great! I'm sure pics will be posted later.  I got to meet and sit with some fine folks I was meeting for the first time which was quite enjoyable.

Thanks again, Peter for making the arrangements!

-Greg

Thanks for all who attended......it was a blast....pics later.  We had between 30-35 people attend!

 

Peter

I was able to make it after all; I had anticipated major traffic headaches on the way down, but only slowed briefly in Harrisburg at one of the merge points between 81 and 83. I actually got to the diner at 8 o'clock! I met some fine folks, and also managed to meet almost everyone on Peter's list in the Orange Hall. I had one opportunity to slip over to the Purple Hall late Saturday to say hello to an old friend. Also, a message for Rich from Korber models, give Alex some time to work on his layout! He's been too busy putting kits together.

Don

It was all good!

Peter, you did a great job of getting all those Forum members together at the greatest diner in the US.

Pictures from the experience.

 

 

 

 

Thanks again to all who participated!

I hope to do this again in April......

 

Peter

Gerry

 Peter,

 

Thanks for arranging the breakfast event. I appreciated the opportunity to meet all of my friends on the OGR Forum.

 

Take care and have a great week.

 

Richard Gonzales

Thanks for putting this together Peter it was a lot of fun! 

OK. Who screwed up and let Pignatelli in there?

 

Hey, they needed to have a good looking guy to fill in the table.
