Thank You NJ Hi-Railers!

Here is a photo of LCCA Representatives  Bill Schmeelk (R) and Kevin Martin in front of the NJ Hi-Railers massive layout during the 12-21-14 Open House Event.

Thanks for supplying the door prizes, was a great show. about 1000 paid attendence

Wasn't able to make it, but watched on the webcams, and the place was packed, as it should

Here's a few (and there were many) of the happy kids who got to see Santa.

 

See if you can figure out which "kid" is the happiest!

 

 

The NJ Hi Railers have a great live web cam system.

I watched it on the web cams, see samples below. I am about 900 miles from their club.

  Click photos to enlarge.

BTW.   That's Phil G.  He is the brains behind the HJHR calendar we are selling.  His idea, his execution and his selling skills!

Chris failed to mention that he spent a couple of days climbing all over the layout taking the calendar photos, then spent hours editing them.  Chris takes professional quality photos and is the official club photog.

Chris,

 

Great shots. great work. Calendars were a hit. Quite a few folks were impressed by the pictures, the quality of the work and the fact that a portion of the proceeds go to Charity. 

 

To all RR fans - this is a great calendar with quite a few shots of the layout with a wide variety of locomotive power. Cost is $10.00 + shipping. Chris and Phil did an outstanding job.

I can't make up my mind.  All of the "kids" look they are all having a great time!   Thank you again for hosting this fun event.  I wish I could have been there.

I hope some videos of this event will show up on YouTube.  I wish I could of attended, unfortunately, I live 7 1/2 hours from Patterson.

 

Caught a glimpse of the event on the web cams myself and totally awed by the crowd. That crowd made TRAINSTOCK look sparse.

Great Santa and Carol make a cute helper.

Merry Christmas to all my NJ Hi-Railer friends.

What a great event, i wish i could have been there. Can't wait until Trainstock

 

I'll say it again if you can attend Trainstock , you won't be disappointed. You will have a fantastic day. The best food, people , and a beautiful huge train layout. 

 

Al.K , thanks for posting this.

 

Thanks,

Alex

 

 

I take a picture with Santa's Helper every year. Wouldn't you?

What a great turnout!

I think the kid on the left looks the happiest.

 

Though it is hard to figure out the happiest, my vote is in for that big kid BEN.

 

OK John you beat me to it.

I think the happiest kid is that guy in the red suit.  He had the most fun out of anybody there.  He has to be the biggest Christmas fan I have ever met.  And he cooks pretty good too.  

As for the picture with the elf  If it was for the happiest dirty old man  Jim would win

I vote for Santa!  You don't ever want to bite the hand that feeds you!  LOL

 

it looks like a fun time was had by all.

Jim, is that Carol helping Santa?  Say hello and Merry Christmas to the gang for me.

 

Jack

 

 

Well putting those two kids up one after the other, I don't know which is the happiest.  Santa is hard to tell under that beard.  Wow, a tough call.  I will vote for Santa's helper, Elf Nice!

 

What a great event, Phil, Jim, Ben, and all who worked to make this event a success!

BTW, the calendar is great!!

Yes Jack that's Carol. She's the only one who could fit into that outfit and she wears it well.Merry Christmas

Here are some more photos of guests and lucky LCCA door prize winners taken during the 12-21-14 Holiday Open House Event at the NJ Hi-Railers Club.  Look at all of those happy LCCA door prize winners!   Thank you Bill Schmeelk and Kevin Martin for representing the LCCA at this fun and festive event. Check out the fantastic layout in the background.  It is nearly  impossible to take in and recognize all of its unique features and details.  Great job NJ Hi-Railers!

Looks like a great event!

The layout is superb. My son Mason and I visited the layout for the 2013 Halloween open house.

 When you only have 6 hours in New York where do you go.

Mason still talks about his visit to the NJ Hi-Railers. I wonder what his class at school thought when he was asked about his trip to New York.....I went to a old silk mill in Jersey

 

Merry Christmas from over the pond

The NJ high railers are certainly a 1st class group!
