Title: RE: York Trains
Post by: WKT58 on February 07, 2014, 10:54:52 AM
York Trains, of Highland, Indiana, went out of business a number of years ago (as far as I can tell, after doing an address search), but for some reason, their old web site from 2005 is still on the web.  If you don't happen to have any Williams Trains catalog from that time, it might be historically interesting to see the very large number of road names that were once available for Williams passenger cars and locomotives.

I bought a used set of Williams Erie Alco PA-1's and a set of Erie 60' Madison cars off eBay, and the York Trains sales receipt was still inside the box.
