    Context for the Centennial I bought at York. It's an MTH 20-2980-1 D.A.P (Dealer Appreciation Program) special UP DDA40X #6936 advertised in 2009 and delivered in 2010. The engine is equipped with Proto-Sound 2 and I believe was one the last few engines to be given PS2 before the company fully switched to PS3. These retailed for $699.95 (2009-2010 MSRP mind you). I found this in Silver Hall and the guy had it priced at $350. Although I'm not a big UP guy, I do have a soft spot for #6936 since it's the only Centennial to have been preserved in operating condition and well, $350 is not a lot for and engine of this size. The box has very minor wear, but the engine is ABOSLUTELY pristine; even the original battery still works fine. The guy after finding out I'm active military even knocked off $20 bringing the final price down to $330. An absolute score! This is one of those engines I would've never imagined buying for such a low price given these are desired by many UP enthusiasts in the 3-rail arena.

    Hey, Larken, great video! You really captured the essence of the York Meet! It is certainly about trains, but the people are what makes York so special for many of us. I am so glad you were able to make it to the event! Until next time, I hope you will take care and keep up the great work! Bill B. PS Love your new K4!

    I also traveled from FL to PA to attend the York show and we also stayed at the Yorjtowne Hotel . I have to agree with you at being overwhelmed at seeing the number of trains and layouts to see at the York train show. All I can say is that I can't wait until I can go again next year.
