My Experiences at the TCA York Train Show 2024!

[@asdfdsa45]

Peachy, this was great to watch. I used to go nearly every Spring and Fall to the TCA show with either my father or my father and his friends. We'd camp in an RV or a camper trailer on the grounds. I remember having to use the bathrooms outside the Red Hall when it was below freezing and there was no heating in those restrooms. I've been to Choo Choo Barn, the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum and the TCA National headquarters and museum so many times. One time, we travelled there and got there a couple of days early so we could drive on up to see Steamtown USA in Scranton. You younger kids are having so much fun now with this hobby at the core and I am so glad to see this. So many memories!!! Thank you Peachy.

30:55 OMG I WAS THERE!!! Back in the summer I went to the Strasburg Rail Road and after that and the Pennsylvania Railroad museum, immer and my grandparents took me to that store and I got an ho scale 611 and a Kodachrome tunnel motor

[@peachystrains8772]

That's awesome! It's a great little store for sure!

[@williamb-trains]

Ran into you and your hubby a couple of times while we were all browsing. You both were so very sweet. I was so disappointed when I had learned that we missed the KZbin meeting. It is one of the highlights of York. So, I would have done this in person but, “Thank you” for promoting the hobby and keeping up with the videos showing us the fun, and educating us all.

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, and I absolutely love what I do!

[@strasburgsteamproductions3302]

Awesome video! Shame I missed the meet & greet, but I’m so happy got to meet you at York! And congrats on passing 4,000 subscribers! 🚂🎊

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you so much! It was great getting to meet you and talk to you for a bit!

[@charlesmcclure5994]

The York train show is definitely on my bucket list hope I can get there before I kick the bucket 👍👍

[@peachystrains8772]

It is definitely worth it!

[@Dadified86]

Great recap! And also great to finally meet you in person! Thanks for sharing your incredible experience 👍

[@jameslanders4819]

Great video Peachy..it was one of my best york shows too. Seems to be more people attending each year. You had some very good comments during the youtube table discussion. It was good to see you and Zach again.

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you so much! I agree there definitely seemed to be more people there this year than last year, and even though a lot of people didn't know the meet and greet was on Friday I think we had more people at that than last year too!

[@jameslanders4819]

@peachystrains8772 yes Peachy I agree even more people were at the youtuber event this year. Some kind of mixup with the eastern division publishing that it was on Saturday! I even had discussion and showed Jenny from Big Boy trains how it was listed as we thought she had it wrong..but later she found me and told me the time had changed. There are so many good people I have met in this hobby; including you Miss Peachy!

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

I hear you! Personally I enjoy the festival atmosphere of train show even if I come home empty-handed. Always a day well-spent!

[@elleryparsons2433]

When Goin To Train Shows Stay till Closing On As Many days They have it.

[@garygreene578]

Thank you for producing this segment. We attended the show, but only Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, so we missed so, so much. You are showing us what we need to see in April. Keep up the great work!

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you so much! Every year I find something new I didn't know about the year before, can't wait to see what I find next year!

[@johnmagnusson7545]

Very cool and awesome trains

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you so much!

[@davidmaust1415]

It was nice that the train club let you Demo i One of your new locomotives that Eric will be proud that you now own

[@CSXtrackworker]

We have an open house every Spring and Fall York and people are free to run and try out what they bought at York. We also have food and drinks as well for the guests.

[@peachystrains8772]

They are seriously amazing people! Definitely go check out their layout if you're ever at York

[@kevinmartin9940]

Well done Peachy

[@Jokers_Trains]

Great video, it was nice to meet you and Zac. Maybe see yall next year.

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you! It was great to meet you too! We'll definitely be there next year! Us Braves fans gotta stick together!

[@davidmaust1415]

I'm looking forward to seeing your new ACL flatcar with trailer y'al got for one of the best bargains at the show on Sat running on your next video

[@peachystrains8772]

Yes! That was such a steal! I still can't believe we found it at the last minute when we were looking for it the whole show lol

[@ericwilliams2619]

Awesome video 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@railchief74]

Awesome Video! Glad to see that you guys had a grand time at the show

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you!

[@railchief74]

@@peachystrains8772 i also liked the fact how you got your photo taken while standing in the Lionel state set observation car at the TCA museum. Plus seeing the Lionel 400e blue comet with the 390 tender on that standard gauge layout was something I found fascinating

[@HotRodRodney25]

awesome videos peachy

[@johnandrus3901]

Very nice! York was a blast, this year and it was great meeting you. The layouts were real cool and there was a plethora of fine items to be found. Unfortunately, there was a lack of AMT passenger cars and K-Line O81 curves, as usual, but I did come away with some neat stuff. A new in box, MPC era FEC bay window caboose, was a steal for the price. Either way, it was still a great show. An excellent overview and video, as always.

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you so much! It was great meeting you too! We didn't find a few of the things we were looking for either, but we ended up coming away with way more than we were planning on anyway lol

[@chrisrandall4872]

It was great to see you again and thanks for featuring our layout in this video.

[@stevenfd123]

Great video! Thank you Peachy!

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you so much!

[@harrisonallen651]

Great fun

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you!

[@GlennFresch]

Looks like you had a good time.

[@RandyCRR]

Hi Peachy, Nice meeting and talking to you at Legacy Station this past Saturday. I was the older man walking with a cane.

[@peachystrains8772]

Hey! It was nice meeting you and talking to you too! And soon you'll be able to get rid of that cane too!

[@steelman86]

Oh, with the cane!! LOL

[@RandyCRR]

@@peachystrains8772 Thanks Peachy

[@PopPopsTrainRoom]

great video

[@LawsonRailway]

Wow peachy very very impressive video and that mobile train layout truck is far beyond amazing was nice seeing it had the exact same passenger cars i have as well and congrats on 4k subs im hoping my channel will grow too and i hope one day to go to a train show if they bring one close to alabama 👍🚂

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you! There is actually going to be a TCA train show in Jacksonville FL June 21-28!

[@LawsonRailway]

@ Thats cool maybe one day i can go to one of them

[@andrewaugustyniak2765]

Menards doesn't or do make switching for o gauge?

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

No, the only locomotives Menards is making at the moment are F-Unit diesels, no switchers. However I've been told by a reliable source Menards purchased a LOT of the old Williams tooling and molds so who knows what the future may bring? However, don't hold your breath.

[@UncleMattstrains]

Hey peachy it was really great to meet you and the others thanks for the photo tag for Unclemattstrains at Eric's house if you guys are ever in the Montgomery Alabama area please give me a call we're just up the street in Wetumpka would love for you guys to come hang out and run some trains on my layout that would be awesome and hope to see you down the rails

[@elleryparsons2433]

When Model Railroading you can Never get enough Model Railroading By Any means No Matter what scale it is And That is the Truth.

[@WeMustRebell]

So Peachy. My wife and I need to know…. Spring or fall York, which should we do for our first trip?

[@peachystrains8772]

I would definitely say Fall for your first York. It seems to me more people go in the fall if they only choose one to go to. I honestly haven't been to spring York yet.

[@Allnightexplor]

Is York pretty much jus O gage?

[@robertglietz7178]

There are a few vendors selling HO, N, and S gauge, but probably 85% O gauge.

[@peachystrains8772]

Most of the Orange hall seems to be O gauge, but there are a few vendors there that have other scales. The other halls definitely have a bigger variety of gauges. I think the least I saw was probably G, but there were still a few things for that too!

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

@@robertglietz7178 Your 85% number's pretty correct in my opinion. However I predict in the future more of the other gauges will be more and more represented. The TCA was mostly the old classics for most of its existance but that's very likely to change, ALL trains are collectable, not just the old standards.

[@betsy662]

So your saying you came back home with lots of goodies, and a lot lighter wallet?

[@peachystrains8772]

That I did! Working on that video next haha

[@LionelLLC]

Cute Chick-fil-A train cars!

[@peachystrains8772]

Thank you! Those are from the LCCA I believe
