York Report
Not wanting to get burned making deals at the York Fairgrounds,
the crew flared up Japanese style after a hard dayʼs drive.
Have you ever seen a hungrier bunch?

The whole crew on a Sunday jaunt
to James & Colleen Hallʼsfabulous Virginia train room
and lovely home. Lunchwas served! And the Standard Gauge trains by all sorts of 70ʼs
and 80ʼs small producers includedthe real McCoy!

Since all my trains are in storage in Vancouver and Gail & I are staying in Ontario for a year or so to care for family, I need projects to keep busy here.
If you have any trains, train accessories that you want to sell give me a call.

I am looking to buy old Marx, American Flyer or Lionel trains and accessories. I prefer pieces that need some repair or major cleaning; the stuff some folks call “JUNK”.
Top: a lot of meals together! Imagine providing a table for 23! Most nights it was only 19!Above: Strasburg Railway on a gray Wednesday afternoon.
Last thing bought at York? 9pm Friday. More suitcases! Below: Saturday morning pack up.
York Fairgrounds: 3 vans under the Bud Light sign; bring your packages on the hour, then go back buy more.
