York was great this year as always and unlike in years past I felt like I was able to spread my money out pretty well rather than go for the few big items

We bought our first scale steamer, Lionel's Legacy 2-6-6-2 Mallet #1309 in Mr. Muffin's custom run C&O. It was brand new and the price was right!
Also got a C&O caboose to go with it, a NS tee shirt, and a t-shirt from the Social Media event to benefit the Choo Choo barn foundation, which is creating programs to help get school aged kids into the hobby. And some small craft supplies.
A.J. we moved this to the TCA York Meet forum since this is not a 3-rail scale topic.

I remember when I went over to the dark side with my first scale steamer. Welcome to the dark side..lol
My big puchase was the Lionel PRR J class 2-10-4 from Nicholas Smith.

I got a pocket full of green from delivering a bunch of sales and repairs to the show! 
I don’t know but I think Carey is bringing me back some old scale stuff lol 
thanks Carey!
@Greg Houser, lol! I'm more into diesels. The steamer was something Mr. Chessiechick wanted. He says this will probably be his only scale steamer, and he has more self-control than I do, so that may actually pan out. I do want a Strasburg or Reading, Blue Mountain and Northern steamer eventually so I can run an excursion train. But the Strasburg stuff is all so overpriced. I refuse to pay the premium for it.
