I was there just for Thursday. This is what I came home with:
Lionel Lines #43 Runabout Boat
#79 Flashing Highway Signal
A lighted magnifying glass on an extension
An Ives water tower
A Lemax animated Santa flying with a blimp (for my daughter)
An MTH 200 Series work caboose
There were actually a few other things I was interested in but when I went around the second time they were gone! I snoozed, and I loosed!
What did you guys pick up?

I, also, was only there on Thursday. I actually had a pocket full o cash but I just couldn't seem to part with it.
I saw Beth from Public Delivery Track in Brown hall. I wanted to get some Atlas 2 rail track, which she did have, but I just couldn't let go of the money. I even saw a good deal at Charlie Ro's and passed on that. Sorry OGR guys, I thought I would pick up dvd # 10, but I couldn't get my hand in my pocket. I don't know what has come over me. I never had this problem before. You know what they say about a fool and his money...well, that's usually me.
I did finally pick up a Norfolk Southern t-shirt for my son and a t-shirt for me that said "Caution, doesn't play well with others". Now, that's funny!!!
I have a bum knee which was killing me toward the end of my day there even though I loaded up on pain killers before hand. I think my days at York may be numbered or at least severely limited. I'm thinking the G scale show, at York, may be the only show I'll be attending in the future. Or, maybe some small 2 rail shows. I know I'll be paying for walking those halls on Friday. Even so, I still had a good time.
I hope everyone else that went had a good time and spent all yer money.

Not a thing. Didn't find anything I couldn't live without or hassle with shipping it home. Lots of good prices on stuff, but just not low enough for me to deal with shipping it 3000 miles home. The stuff I need for scenery right now, I'll just order after I get home, especially now that I've seen it in person.
One item from my "A" list (Lionel N&W class A #1218) and a set that wasn't even on my radar but found me and called out to me (Lionel Legacy Motor City set) for a great price and the difficult to find add on 89' auto rack cars (six 2 car sets) for an equally great price.
Back to the halls in the morning and Saturday!
