Boston Metro High Railers Special Open House

Thanks Jim for the invitation. Your layout tour has been on my "to do list". We will do our best to attend.

We're going to be working on the scenery this weekend just to prepare for the Open House...  I hope all who reside in the Greater Boston or Southern NH areas will try to join us...

The scenery crew has been working hard on the mountain range...  Please come and see our progress...

Wish I could make it Jim, love to see the progress.

As my fellow club member states. The scenery and mountains are taking shape. Please come join us at the open house on September 28th. Some recent photos from recent club events and run nights.

Hi Jim  E mail sent. Hope to get there by 1PM.  Would you be interested

in seeing one of my 1927 Bing O Gauge clockwork locos run?  If so,

I'll bring one along.  Here's a photo showing some of my fleet.

Every time I say I'm going to go to one of these, something happens and I end up not going. Still, I'd love to see those mountains and the rest of the scenery in person. It all looks terrific in photos. And I sure do hope to see some of those windup British locos there as well. I've marked my calendar and hope to finally get there. I'll have the filet mignon, Jim.

I don't know Jim; The commute for me is brutal!I'll do the best I can.  

lewrail, please bring the clockwork locos (or at least one!)... it would be great to see them operate...

Thanks Jim,

I'll bring a couple of British clockwork locomotives including the unique

"controlled clockwork" which enables the runner to vary the speed of the clockwork by moving a lever on the locomotive.

Hi,

Come join us and bring trains to run, have some food and enjoy conversations about our favorite subject "TRAINS"

Please POST that you are coming and if you will be bringing anyone else.

I'm going to try my best to be there, Jim.

Please come if you can...  Bring some locomotive to run if you wish...

Here are some pictures...

Jim Q. will be the dispatcher for the day and I will be the yard master. Together we will make sure our guest have a safe trip around the layout. In the video Jim and his DD40X lashup and yours truly with SD70ACe lashup make our way around the layout.

Jim,

Please put two more on your list. I will make the trip up from "The Cape" and will bring my friend, forum member Andy Bauer (CTR on the forum). Might also bring and engine or two.

The layout and men who operate it are first class. 

If anyone is going to start a layout, I would strongly suggest they visit this layout.  This layout has greatly improved on the Lynn Westcott L Girder benchwork design.  If you want to see L Girder benchwork done to the max, visit this layout and go to school.  I have visited some great layouts in my day and can state this benchwork is the best you will ever see.

I am sorry to say this one doesn't fit my schedule.  But I am very interested in someday paying a visit to one of your open houses.  How often do you have them?

I am relocating to the Boston area from an area south of Philadelphia.  We are in the process of looking at homes now.  The old layout is just about packed up, so it would be a good time to "go to school" as it was mentioned, on L Girder bench work before I get started up again.

Please let  me know of alternative options to visit some other time.

Yeah, like you roll out of bed, roll over twice and you're there. It's a tough one Chris. 

Sadly, I will not be able to make it. Not so sadly, I will be on vacation. I think you guys have a great layout and I was so glad to see it earlier this year. I do look forward to visiting again and I wish you the best.

The Open House,September 28th at the club is coming up. Please bring your trains to run.See Jim Q's post at the beginning of the thread for details.What can be better than running trains on a huge layout,free food and a bunch of great people to talk with.

Please post to let us know you are coming.

Bob

I really hope some of you within driving distance of our Club can make it on Saturday...  I will be the Dispatcher/Trainmaster for this event... if you bring something to run see me for track time...

Looking forward to lots of pictures from the event.
