That does disappoint me as you always have some great stuff at fair prices! I am still not sure if I will attend due primarily to long-distance travel hassles.

How is the railroad coming along in your basement. I want to come back down to your club and see the progress. Did you ever get the train master switched over to the decoder you wanted.

Pete, the club is progressing nicely. Check  the club FB page.

I installed a QSI Q3 decoder in the Trainmaster. It has a customized sound set with help from Matt Forsyth.

now, back to the show thread.

With no "York" to justify being in the area, and springing for gas, motels, Amish buffets, sadly l will add this to the many shows/conventions in several areas of interest l am forced to sit out this year, or that were slammed shut.  Really hate to miss these, as old, unique, and different can be found. If you can, support this show.

Unfortunately, I will be in recovery mode for a week or 3 by the 17th.  Traveling and being upright will dubious actions at best.  In any case, next Strasburg I'll be bringing a lot of structures to sell and maybe a tub of my own scratchbuilt cars.

Silly me....

Cannot attend.  After visiting a terrific well detailed 2 r layout this week I have to 're think my plans going forward.  My small amt of 2r items were picked up at the wind gap show.  Time to consider expansion.

NCrails,     If you are serious about expanding this is the place where you can get  major scratch for that itch.

Every time I go there I am amazed at the variety of unexpected surprises.  Crazy wide assortment of super priced track, trains, building, parts, widgets and gizzmos.   Prices of cars and engines are great!

See you there Tom! Jim and Al from Michigan.

Table  holders, what are you bringing?

I will have a lot of Signature switches, unique automobiles and scores (140) of inexpensive freight and passenger cars.

Tom,

I'm in the market for signature switches. I'm looking for some left and some right number eights. I'm also in the market for cases of Atlas track. I think I'm gonna have to bring my checkbook.

Well, it turns out that I will not be able to attend this one due to other long-distance travel obligations a couple of weeks later.

Dear List,

Beautiful Fall weather for Saturday in Strasburg and Lancaster county !!! 60 degrees and SUNNY!!

Please check calendar section of OGR Forum for more information about the Meet/ Show

Hope to see you there. Covid 19 rules apply.

Someone please post some pictures of the show tomorrow!

thanks

Wow!! Crazy successful!  There was an avalanche of hungry 0 scalers busting through the door at 9:00 am sharp roaming the Covid spaced out tables.

The Strasburg Fire house was very accommodating by moving the fire trucks out of the front of the garage so more tables could be used with health sensitive  spacing.  The weather was great which allowed the doors to be open for a healthy air exchange.  John and Rich exercised strict health protocols.

I went through 60 cars, four brass engines, three cases of track, several conventional power packs,  case of road bed, Signature switches, a lot of display cases, many buildings, etc, etc.   Thanks alot guys!

I’ve been to several of these meets and always seem to find something I “need”.

Always good deals. And there was a lot of track and switches available.

Thanks to John and Rich for making it happen during these times.

See you in April!

There was definitely pent-up demand from attendees. Lots of great deals to be had.

Since it had been a year since the last Strasburg show. It was great to see old friends again.

Thank you for a successful, fun day !!!

While Rich and I provide the venue , It is the dealers and attendees that make the Strasburg show so nice.

I must say in my 30 plus years in the O scale fraternity I never saw so much track and switches in one show .

Tom Thorpe , Bruce Blackwood and Bob Lavezzi still have lots of track left even though a big dent was put in there inventory.

Special "Thank You" to Bruce Blackwood and the O Scale Kings for their great display and Nick Bulgarino / Dave Vaughn for the O Scale Central web site and layout display.

Glad it was a successful day!

I just was not able to sit upright in a car for 2 hours each way, and then lug stuff in/out.

Next year!
