While there are plusses to the timing of the Yorks, and rejoicing that there are at
least two meets, vs. the one of some phases of the train hobby, many train shows
tend to occur in the really lousy weather of winter. That does not encourage long
drives to attend them. Summer shows, with no school in session, would seem to be
the opportunity to expose children to this virus. Wonder how many children and their
parents miss York because of school? The conventions just do not have the size of
shows that would approach York. But then, maybe it is me, and the fact, that for me,
trains are not seasonal.
