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.
I would argue you got a better deal than I did 😂
It’s a beautiful model!
I live an hour away from York, I am always impressed with the people that travel a great distance to get there
That just shows you how much York means to the community!
New subscriber from Maine...I enjoyed your video and started catching up on your other films. Well done and thank you ! 👍
Great video. I’m glad you guys enjoyed!
Hopefully I’ll catch you at a future one!
@@trainsoflark I’ll be there in October
@@Coreyt1976 sadly I won’t
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.
Didn’t realize there was a fellow Floridian there 🫡
@@trainsoflark likewise, it was a beautiful hotel, but the main event was the York Train Show. We don't have too many train shows in the Palm Harbor/Clearwater area here in FL. The largest show is around three hours away in De Land FL.
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!
Thanks Bill B! Glad you were able to make the spring show! My goal was to show the experience of the event!
Keep getting those boxcars 😉
@@trainsoflark Yep, "One can't have too many box cars is my mantra!" You too, remember you are going to need them for this year's Holiday Box Car Challenge. I'll be depending on you to help get the word out when the time comes! Bill
Great Video, Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Lark! You had a great catch over there.
Thanks Alfonso!
Nice video, it was great to meet you at the club!!

Great video , it was a pleasure meeting the " alright more trains " guy in person . Hope you can get back up here again in the future
Lol hey what can I say, more trains is great 😉
I’m sure you’ll see me again in the future! 😁
Great video! Wow, what a massive train show. I think I remember that 2-6-0 Mogul from Railroad Tycoon II.
York is a different animal! Nice to know someone else remembers that iconic train game, use to play it for hours as a kid!
is there another generation coming along to keep the hobby moving forward...... maybe so. I saw a lot of younger people at York.
There is! UA-cam and Instagram have helped usher in a new generation of O gaugers!
Alright more trains!! Great video man!
Thanks man!
Did you get an RBP Train? I know you’d want the certificate to hang up im sure!
Sadly I didn’t, as much as I wanted to, I didn’t find anything that I wanted from his stuff
Awesome video Larken. It was great meeting you and all the guys with you. Glad you had a wonderful experience for your first York. Hopefully you make it again. You guys are always welcome at the club when you’re in town.
The club layout was awesome man! I’ll definitely return to it whenever I come back for York!

Thank you!
Train Party At Chris’s Place!
New generation of foamers 😂. Nice video!
Thank you! A new era of foamers and Tran fanatics are coming in and it has me excited for the future of this hobby!
When goin to a Train Show the Weather is Not a Problem cause It Won’t stop the Driving Force in us And Yes Being Traintarded is Mandatory And Drueling Is Also Allowed.
Lowly grasshopper... York is best attended on Thursday when the noobs are still in transit and the halls are clear. I bought all the good stuff before you even shot video! LOL
I couldn’t get the time off to come early so I did the best I could 🤷♂️
Stay late That’s How You Do It.
