York Breakfast, Thursday AM October 18th.

Adjusted my schedule, so I'll be there.

Some pics from past gatherings...

2016

Peter

Never eat there, terrible food, & very over priced.

More pics.......2017

Peter

Not sure I RSVP to you.  My wife (Theresa) and I look forward to joining the group.  Easy to spot, Floridians with heavier coats than most people.

leave a nice tip. Those waitresses work very hard, & they are super fast.

Our reservations are confirmed for 0730 next Thursday AM

Here is a link to the breakfast menu......in the Fall, a special is usually "pumpkin pecan" pancakes.

Lastly, I just notice that the last 4 numbers of their phone number is 5344........sweet!

Peter

Awesome Peter. My hotel is not that far away, so I will get there a bit earlier than last year.

Peter-

I'm in! See you all next week for breakfast!!!

Good! Another NJ guy is coming to breakfast, so there will  be someone there who speaks the language.

Peter, I will be there with Dotty.   

Marty

I think this brings our breakfast attendence to 437. Better bring my own maple syrup!

Peter,

Put Stephie and I down for two early seats.

Al

I'm getting very excited.....leaving Weds mid-afternoon and I hope to catch most of the DCS dinner meeting (all depends on the DC/Balto traffic).....Looking forward to seeing everyone... Here are some pics from April 2018:

Safe travels to all.....

BTW...sign up is never closed....if you decide Thursday AM, just show up.....the more the merrier!

Peter

Peter, you must be getting a 10% kickback.

York fever.........catch it!

Leaving mid afternoon right from work....hope to make part of the DCS meeting.

Safe travels to all.

Peter

Anyone that has arrived at York early and has dined at The Clock notice that on the table placemats there is an advertisement for the TCA, TCA Museum and the York Meet?

Check it out when you get there. 

Glad to hear you made it into town safe and sound from the left coast!

-Greg

Well Men and Ladies, we here in Tennessee wish “Youall” a great time at the Diner and of course, at the Big Show, hope everyone has fun and most of all, a safe journey home. Please post your new trains on the forum.  We will hopefully see you in April. Happy Railroading...Leapin Larry

Hope everyone has a great time. I was half way there and turned around. T

Getting old , the ride is getting tougher..

Have a great time folks and enjoy your breakfast.

Oh man, that skillet view makes my eyes water and mouth drool.  

8 minutes away for me this time around. Hopefully there won't be an accident like there was tonight on Route 30. It was supposed to take me about 45 minutes from the Toy Train Museum to my hotel, but it took about an hour and about 10 minutes give or take. It didn't look like anyone was hurt in the accident, but it really put traffic at a stand still.

The Toy Train Museum was great. Got to see Jack Lynch, Mike Wolf, and Ryan Kunkle speak about up coming stuff. I think Jack and Ryan spoke about the same time, Mike only spoke about 12 minutes. Seemed that the questions really only went to Mike and Ryan, though Ryan got way more questions. It was not quite what I expected. Maybe someone can explain it all to me tomorrow morning.

Just arrived back at the Hampton Inn South from the DCS meeting.    Hopefully, I'll wake up in time to make the breakfast.  I've been awake since 2am today.    I may just sleep in and and eat the free breakfast here at the hotel and then make the easy drive to the meet from the hotel vs. out on Rt. 30 from the Round the Clock diner.

We'll understand, Mike......come if you can.

Peter

Thanks for organizing,  great breakfast conversation and nice to put more names to faces.

Never thought I'd be in this position. Limited time off this year, won't be there Thursday, but hope to see many of you on Friday!

Sorry guys... I put a few trains out and the WIND was blowing the cars OFF THE TRACK!

so, no train layout hanging out the back of my van this morning...

hope to see some of you in 'de halls!

ENJOY YOUR BREAKFAST!

KUDOS to Peter for putting this together every year!

Great breakfast again Peter, this time I didn't have to sit at the little kids table, lol. Was great to meet Bryan In Ohio, and find out that there was not just the prison, but the strip club on his layout as well.

I'll be sure to run into everyone else somewhere along my wanderings today/tomorrow, and of course Saturday. Someone tell Alan Arnold not to use up all the maple syrup. There may have to be a new Ameri-Towne Maple Syrup Distributors to be built. What would the building be called, "Sticky's Syrup Warehouse, Maple Syrup Distributors" lol. Just kidding.

Great talking at my table, and great to have Peter come down and do the educational business of knowing the great post-war guessing game. I said it was like listening to my Uncle Dick who can rattle off more things than I would ever even dream of knowing about anything ever produced by Lionel, American Flyer, or otherwise.

Great having b’fast with you Dave, and listening to all the “lore.”

Peter, thanks so much for being the laboring oar to make the breakfast gathering happen.

Now in Silver Hall with coffee waiting for the halls to open on my first York. Taking this opportunity to kiss my $20 bills goodbye since we will be parted in a little while.😋

$$$$$🚂🚌🚌🚌 Alms for the poor! Alms for the poor!

I sure wish I was at York right now. The only good thing about missing York that I can think of is.......no "Post-York Blues."

Seriously.....I hope everyone is having a great time. 

John

I gotta make the most of this York.  Next April is my 25th wedding anniversary.  I don't think York would fly with the wife  BigRail

Great time this AM.......thanks to all who participated.....we had over 30 people and it was a great success!

Peter

Thanks for putting it together @Putnam Division! Me and my father enjoyed sitting and eating with Ben, John, and @OGR CEO-PUBLISHER!

I'll also stop by the hotel I'm staying at just to verify I have a room before coming back to check-in later in the afternoon.  After the plumbing debacle a few years ago at the La Quinta taking 10 minutes to stop at the hotel on my way to fairgrounds is a price well worth paying.   If problems, I'd much rather make other arrangements before the meet starts versus late in the afternoon before going to Quaker Steak and Lube.

-Greg

I reserved a room there for next April since I did not make York this time around due to shingles ( not the ones you put on your house)!!

Might go to Allentown on Nov. 11th.

Ted

Ted - sorry to hear you had the shingles - hope you heal quickly!  I just booked my room there for next April and October.  Nice hotel and you can walk to the OGR dinner..or better yet---walk "home" 

Peter - thanks again for organizing another breakfast!  I had a blast!

EddieM - I was wondering what happened as I was looking for you before the meet opened.  Figured it was the darn wind.  I hope to see it in April.

I look forward to seeing everyone in April!
