Hi all:
Just a reminder this Friday April 27, 6:30pm to 10pm and all day Saturday April 28, 9am to 5pm the Boston Trolley & Transit Meet will be held at the Holiday Inn, 1200 Beacon Street in Brookline, MA. Take the MBTA line Cleveland Circle Beacon Street and get off at the St. Paul Street car stop.
This event is also sponsored by the Seashore Trolley Museum, the Boston Street Railway Association and the Boston Chapter of the NRHS.
One of the sponsors, the Bay State Society of Model Engineers will also have their O Scale trolley layout and club rooms open on Saturday evening April 28 and 9am-4pm on Sunday April 29th in Roslindale, MA about 9 miles from Brookline.
Full details at www.bostontrolleymeet.com
Hope to see many of you there. I will have six tables of goodies, books, color slides, photos and some models for sale.
An exciting program is planned. You can still pay at the door; Adults age 18+ $15.00 covers both days, Youth ages 11-17 $12.00 and family plan 2 adults and 2 youth $25.00. There will be operating displays/layouts, dealers, a model contest and much more.
For those of you who are also fans of the Boston & Maine RR, they had several trolley lines in their fold, Concord & Manchester Electric Branch, Portsmouth Electric Railway, Springfield Terminal Railway(when it was a trolley line) and more.
Of course Model trolleys (scale 1:1, 600 volts DC) right outside the front door of the hotel (MBTA Beacon Street line).
