Sorry to say that we're staying in FL until the snow melts 
I only live a couple of miles away and have been thinking of attending for years. This year I had Elizabeth put it on the calendar and as long as we don't get a foot of snow we're going.
GRJ:
Why not Trainstock on Saturday & Oaks on Sunday?
Pat, that occurred to me, but I have family obligations on Sunday, and I want to be at our club show for at least one of the days. I did skip this show a couple of years ago to go to Trainstock, if I make a habit of it, they might toss me out of the club.

Then you could join the NJ HiRailers!

If only you could move it a little closer. 
At the suggestion of one Scrapiron, I am checking in to see if there is any table space available. Please reach out to me either by email or the shop telephone number. I would like to show and offer some of our shadowbox models!
I will be there!!! Cant wait

Hi Doug
We have 5 tables that we dedicate for sales at the shows but we also have 45 low cabinets around the room that you are welcome to set up anything you would like for sale
To all
Weather report for Saturday is 54 degrees with a chance of a shower in the early morning No SNOW excuses.
One Scrapiron and one Ms. Scrapiron will attend. Possibility of EZMike Lauria.
Cleared up work schedule, last time I will have to do that since I am calling it a career this June. I am glad i can attend instead of watching on the webcam.
Ben,
What are the curves on the EL subway line, going to bring my 2 rail DL&W F3 ABA and NS DL&W SD70. just need to put the 3 rail rollers on and flip the switch in the engine. If they are O72 I will bring the 11 GGD heavyweights, other wise I will bring a tub of weaver freight cars. The subway track is the atlas flat rail correct, and the regular track is gargraves tube.....?

The subway is Atlas Minimum Radius is O63 but your not going to be able to run anything but subways there The clearances are Verrrry tight and measured for subways

Well that's no good, even the one at the end by the food court. The one that's open with no tunnels.
We have cleared our schedules so add three more to the list.
Todd B. and I will be there. Always a fun time. 
Coming up again from the Trenton area and bringing three others with me. Looking forward to a great day and then home to watch the Philadelphia EAGLES!
I had my cataract procedure today. Cannot drive but should be ok with Eddiem driving.
If I hadn't said it before, I'm going to try very hard to be there. Might be with my dad, cousin or both
Maybe I'll bring some flatcars...a whole bunch of 'em

Gilly@N&W and I start our journey mid afternoon......
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Safe travels guys. Looking forward to seeing you also. I assume this means I will not have to get a Trainstock hat to bring to you at York.

GRJ, we have Members and Associate Members who live further than you. Pat & Jean for example. Marty & Dotty, for example. Mario E, for example. Captain John, for example. Steve Maier, for example. Chris L, for example. NO EXCUSES!

Hope you make it before closing. It’s a five hour drive for me. Oh wait, I forgot how Peter drives. 😀
Can’t make it again this year. Might have to retire to have more free time like Gilly.

Farmer Bill.......we will stay in North Jersey tonight and be there bright and early in the morning......Tom (Gilly@N&W) and I are both early risers (we're both at work around 0530)......it will be not problem to get there.....
In fact.....leaving mid afternoon today will put us near the Double T Diner in White Marsh MD around dinnertime.
Peter
I was waiting until the last day to see if I can make it to Trainstock but it looks like I will be missing it this time around. I will see everyone at York or maybe at the March WGHS in Edison NJ.
Enjoy the day there, have a mallomars on me and will wait for all the pictures.
Ted
I'll definitely be there!
Hi Ben, I will be there tomorrow around 10 AM.
Safe travels to everyone going!!! Just a "little" too far from Chicago!
Was hoping to be able to make it for the first time but I've been laid low by the 'flu' since Tuesday. Maybe next year...

If the NJ HiRailers haven't thrown me out for poor attendance I find it hard to believe any club would toss you for one meeting a year. Why don't you tell them it's an ambassador mission.
Mario, I am so glad that you joined the club. And that I got to meet you and communicate with you even though you cannot come to the club often. We understand that.
GRJ would probably have a great time with the club even if he only came 3 or 4 times a year. And then I'd have at least one more member rooting for the Iggles & Phillies.
Gerry
In Woodbridge NJ, at a Hampton Inn.....been up since 0500......just finished my make up!
looking forward to seeing everyone......
Peter
One of these years...
It would be a 700+ mile trip. Unfortunately, it's always during the time when travel can be treacherous. But I'll get there eventually.
Hope its fun, getting my car serviced.
Approaching the Susquehanna on our way south.......a great time!
Thank you, Hi Railers!
Peter
Kathie and I are back home on Long Island. Thank you to all the NJ Hi-Railers for yet another great Trainstock! Great people, great trains, great food. It doesn't get any better than that. And as I always say, it's a terrific cure for the post-holiday blues and a nice halfway point between the York Meets. I'll post some photos when we get them off the camera.
Chris
What a great time, this was my third and will be there next year.
Hats off to the cook! Food was great and all of the members that I chatted with were great. Like talking with the young member Rich. Nice seeing young people getting involve. Took a lot of picture and videos for layout ideas. Love the standard gauge layout (should be one for prewar tinplate O gauge). Hope the organ is there next year as the music was great.
Thank you again NJ Highrailers!
Hi again,
Here are some photos from Trainstock 10. Thanks again, NJ Hi-Railers. You folks are great hosts!
Chris
