Atta boy Lou, thanks for arranging all that.
Hollywood’s getting the banner (and we’ll chip in).
So, The Last Alcove is a go.
See you guys there!
Anyone coming to either/or/both Alcove and/or Drag & Brag, please prepare at least an index card to display with it on the “Drag & Brag Table” in the Alcove for the display. It also helps at the D&B when people ask “Who built that?”

Gents I apologize to you all. I looked into duplicating the signage pictured in the Alcove use cheap paper signs at close to the same size. Price quoted was $185.00 which is just a bit steep for my blood.(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
David, this place has (for example) a 2’ x 8’ vinyl banner for under $50:

I’d be willing to chip in, and arrange the printing if needed; but do you or Ric have the artwork?
I don’t have anything with me in Florida, because original plans were to get back to Carlyle, before heading to York. Original art work was done by Martin, out of Texas. All I can suggest is be general in your descriptions, so it can be used for multiple years. Bob, the BOD, will probably give you permission for art work.
Ric and all. I sent Half price banners the posted pictures of the original signs as displayed. They sent a link to proofs that showed a close approximation of the lettering used in the originals but did not include the track in the logo not the RR crossing back ground. The drag and brag sign will need to be replaced if the show host hotel changes. (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
[edited to add a smiley, just in case] 
25 days and counting. I will be attending this year, with my usual showing up Thursday afternoon, show on Friday, and leave Saturday morning. I’ll have a bunch of things to sell, including a bunch of my wood boxcars, if anyone has any interest.

Ric has the Susquehanna room reserved, and will be there. I had emailed him because I wasnt sure if I needed to be the guy on the ground losing money on the room, or if it was him! 
Good to hear, Bob! Glad your schedule worked out. You bet, bring your boxcars! I’m sure they’ll sell.
Ric, we’ll miss you. But thanks for reserving the room.
I don’t have anything new to drag along… maybe something from a prior year… is re-brag couth or uncouth this year?

Just say it’s new. None of us will remember. (At least I won’t. (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif))

“You or Ric should “NOT” be losing any money on the room!”
Not sure what the room cost but I will be at the show both Friday and Saturday and will certainly chip in. I will not be at the drag and brag as I want to return back home on Friday afternoon.
I hope you guys take plenty of pictures Friday night and please have them posted before the drag and brag is over “just thinking ahead for Fred” !
See you guys at the show whether you like it or not.
I was under the impression that Jan and Whats His Name would be there this year, coming up from Florida. I am counting on it.
Unfortunately I am unable to attend as I will be recovering from a knee replacement and will not be able to travel for several months.

Hey, I wont know the difference! Haha
I’m hoping to bring along my modified TTTE “Toby”, if I can finish it in the next month. I keep putting off the windows…
Jan and “What’s His Name” are planning to be there.

Sorry to hear that Dan, and I hope you mend quickly.
BTW, York didn’t seem quite the same for me without Train Li last year, being a customer. But at least they’re still in business! Though out in Reno now.

Put Ken at the door and tell them it’s a $10 cover OR YOU AIN’T GETTING IN BRO.
