As always a interesting place to go to and be there. First reason for going was to drop off a ho loco for a member as i promised to do. the most rememberable thing noted in my cyikick is where I parked in the church lower lot. Only spaces left was on the slope of the hill, which is paved and used for parking. opening the door was an experance i never before had. Enough said about parking my car. I bravely did the mountain climbing to get into the upper parking lot area. As i found out when asking where the member i had come to see was. His table was in front center of the stage. Glaceing down that way I seen him. WELL HELLO! SPECIAL DELIVERY! We spoke for about 10 minutes before i was able to put the loco in his hands. This club is full of friendly people like this. I spend more talking here than looking at trains. After 15 minutes of talking and blocing the isle my initial purpose was completed. I wish my friend Louie was still here, he pessed way over a year ago. I do miss him. So I look for Walter the O gager who is always friendly. I really liked going his hobby shop in Millburn as it was always a interesting place to go to. I could not find him! well I hope he's OK. Back to this day's train show. Back to roaming the isles in search for more men's boy-toys. After going through the remaning 4 isles I had gotten a couple to locos in need of repairs or for parts cheep, back to the stage front isle. Here at the next table to my friend was aother person I knew from the club. On his table was of all things was a pacific loco in its original box, looking very good, with a very clearly marked low price, BUT it is another Marklin locomotive. I just got my first one at last weeks train show at the Wayne NJ PAL show. I guess I'll have 2 now. I got to admit their both in great condition, Interesting locos to see. If you have one it can sit on a shelf. When you have 2 - U got to run them! O well I gess I'll go home now. Say goodby, walk towards the exit, lookup the first isle and notice some HO freight cars. Nice one's! This is as I am standing in front of the table where the show entrance fee must be paid. The cars are on the table directly behind it. So as a model train person I must invistagate. Needles to say I got a few. Good cars. $2, each, 3 is with KD's. Aother good find!
