The Strasburg O Scale Show was held yesterday, October 11, 2025. The show was a good one. There was good attendance by both table holders and the show attendees. I didn’t get much time to walk through the show myself, my table kept me busy during the day. I’m happy to say that more than half my surplus models on my table found new homes.

It was good to see so many people that I had not seen in too long. This has been a busy Summer with lots of life issues getting in the way or modeling, or should I say, getting in the way of having the desire to model. Today was needed by me on many fronts.

I did manage to find a few new items for myself. I picked up some NOS Yoder Proto48 trucks from a couple of different folks at the show. We have to remember the days of these being in production and in stock are over. I also managed to add another Yoder Baldwin S12 to the roster. There will be more about that this Winter as it is currently an O scale model that needs to be converted.

Paul Yanosik brought some new models to share with me. He had a pair of LV ALCo C-420’s that started out as Lionel models which Paul gutted, built new ends, placed a Weaver drive into them and put a nice custom paint job on them. I thought they looked great. Too modern for my 1952 era but very tempting.

The weather had light rain until after the show when we were headed out for lunch. Turned out to be a great day, shared with friends.
