@Bill Park posted:I am looking forward to tomorrows Hudson Fest gathering at the JR Junction Hobby Shop in Syracuse. The event should have some pretty interesting things going on. Pat Norcross ( Harmon Shops) will be there representing MTH. The Central New York Chapter of The New York Central Historical Society will be presenting a lot of history on the NYC and their hudson type locomotives. Attendees can enter the best Hudson Locomotive Contest by bringing a Hudson Locomotive from their fleet and entering and running it on their club layout. I expect Pat to give some kind of presentation on the NYC Hudson since his grandfather was a master mechanic in the Harmon Shops north of New York City. It should also give attendees time to shop the Junction Shop for modeling needs like landscaping materials, glues and paints etc. JR Jct is a fully stocked shop. My sincere hope is that model railroaders will support this endeavor because we need our Hobby Shops. There is a lot planned for our entertainment. Bill Park
Thank you Bill! We are anticipating a great day tomorrow with lots of great Hudson modelers and experts. The club members has put together a big collection of used train stuff at unbelievable low-give-away prices along with a bunch of railroadiana merchandise too! All the proceeds from the sale is a donation to the Central New York Chapter, National Railway Historical Society, Inc..
Thanks to Bill Park for providing the film projector for our continual New York Central Hudson films presented by Mario.
I can't wait to see the beautiful models coming to Upstate Central New York's Water Level Route.
Do I hear a possible ENCORE GATHERING at the Great New York State Model Train Fair this fall?
