I will be there. @delphiz302 and I will be selling off excess stuff we no longer need (with prime real estate, next to the DKS collection) as well. Anyone want a 700 series Shinkansen?  :P
Indeed I’ll be there.  Please bring lots of money both @EL3632 and I have lots of great n scale stuff for sale!  But I wouldn’t call having a sales table next @VonRyan and @ChristianJDavis1 as prime real estate.  It feels more like a NIMBY situation being next to them.

Now that I know what my week will look like, I will be there with my wife.

So no more game time decision. My yearly pilgrimage with the gang to the Station Inn just got scheduled for October. One of these years I hope the stars align and I can get over to the show. It's been too long.

I may be there Saturday with my wife.  I'm traveling all week on business and I'm debating whether to make the trip from Wisconsin...  It could be a consolation prize for missing the Big Boy on it's way thru Wisconsin last week and Rochelle this Tuesday.  I would like to see Doug Nelson's PRR work train and the DKS goodies for sale...

Any plans for the group photo?

Group photo is usually coordinated by @MK , who is an expert cat herder. Last year I believe it was Saturday before they called the door prizes in front of the Jaffa center.

Meow!   :D

Thanks for the compliment Christian!  I've never been called that especially with respect to photography but now that I think about, I've done a LOT of group shots even when I was in the corporate world.

I believe the biggest group of cats, er, I mean people, that I've ever herded was 300+.

I still have to decide on when and where on Saturday.  I'll make announcements on the PA system on Saturday to give everyone a heads up.  So people don't go out for a long lunch like last year...   :facepalm:

The "where" should be in front of the DKS Collection so the wheels of commerce don't have to stop turning.

Scott:
FYI - I will be there on Saturday only and I will probably have the wreck train running with the Capital PenN Scalers club.

It depends on how many  :ashat: shows up and whether there will be enough room to do the picture.  It's not just the width but how far back I need to set the tripod.  I'll play it by eye.  :)

As part of the 'festivities', Everett Railroad has put a Saturday evening 'ice cream train' from Hollidaysburg to Roaring Spring and back, like we had a couple years ago.  Departure from Hollidaysburg at 7PM, back at 9, see their web page for tickets and pricing.     

This is a relatively late add and wasn't on their schedule earlier.    This is not a charter, they just put it on their schedule.   

It's not entirely clear (yet) if they are running it behind the 2-6-0 or a diesel, I'll update this when I find out.
