Since swap meet and train show season is right around the corner, I went looking the dates of the COL's events. However, it looks like the website is gone. Does anyone know the dates of the shows or if they are still in existence?

The COL club has a new website address, www.coltrains.com. Please bookmark it in your browsers.
The club open house schedule has been suspended this fall pending completion of clubroom renovations. In the Interim, the modular layout has a busy fall display schedule in locations in Suffolk county. Also, the swap meets will be taking place in Farmingville, Island Bingo Hall as previously scheduled.
Check out the new web address. We are accepting new members as well. Address is 90F Raynor avenue in Ronkonkoma just south of the Long Island Expressway exit 60.
Good Morning, guys:
I just clicked on the old website, http://www.trainweb.org/centoplines/ , the only one that a Google search takes me to, and on that page, I am told to go to your new website,
However, depending upon what browser I use, I get redirected either to a message saying "Cannot connect to database" or to a bogus URL www1.centraloperatinglines.com/? (note the digit "1" after the www, and note the "/?" extension.)
There is no advice to go to your new URL, www.coltrains.com
In another link on the Tinplate sub-forum, one of our friends has this to say:

Maybe one of you can help him (and others) find the train shows he's looking for.

When is the next show?
George
the next swap meet is this Sunday November 18th
Just to let you know that we have swept aside the damage from Sandy and this show will be on for This Sunday Nov.18th at 8:30Am. The METCA Howard Beach Show scheduled for saturday the 17th is postponed because of Sandy. So come out and see us. We will have 100 tables or more and lots of door prizes. The Bingo Hall is on Portion road just west of Nichols Rd North Take exit 62North on the Long Island Expressway to Nichols rd North to Portion Road West. Look forward to seeing you there.
Thanks, I attended the show on the 18th and picked up some nice items. I literally live around the corner from the show so it was a pleasure being there. See you all in December!
THE COL website as LIRR Steamer advised is now www.coltrains.com. In a few weeks we should be easily found on google and hopefully trainweb will correct their old listing. I have contacted them 2x. Look for new updates to the site, and some new video after the new year.
