In case you’re not in the loop: The York train meet is Thursday afternoon through Saturday of this week (April 17-22). The meet at the fairgrounds is only open to members of the Train Collectors Association and their guests, but there are “Bandit Sales” around town on Monday through Wednesday. (Never having gone to one, I’m not sure of the locations but know there is one at the Holiday Inn on Rte 30 just east of I83. If you start there I’m sure someone will give you directions to the rest.)
On the other hand, if you’ve never been to the actual meet, wish to go, and need a sponsor–guests are allowed in once per lifetime–stop in at TGIFridays on Rte 30 between 7 and 10 pm on Thursday night. There is always a bunch of TCA members/OGR Magazine readers there for an annual get together and most will be glad to sponsor you for entry into TCA. Just bring money for membership and to buy train stuff the next day.
