I'm in town and wondered if I could get some help to find my way around. Is anything going on at the clubs? Is there a train nearby I could take into NY to maybe Trainworld?? Thanks, Joe

I don't have a laptop so I'm on the hotel computer.

 

Ok the computer wasn't available till now and I was in Parsippany(cherry road?)! Tough to fly by the seat of my pants now that I'm getting old!!!

Hi Joe,
 
I'll be in trenton tomorrow for a family outing but should be back in by evening.  How long are you staying?  There is an Amtrak that goes from Philly to NY but  I'm not sure where it is in relation to cherry hill, NJ.  Once in NY Penn you can take the subway to brooklyn.  I've been to Trainworld but I would skip it if you are looking for 2 rail O scale.  They also have other scales, I know you do G.

 Guys

(Charlie, Drew, Mike, etc....)

 thanks for the help. I ended up doing a last minute tourist thing. We went into NYC and rode the tourist buses around in the heat. Now I'm spent.

 At least we went to Strasburg and Scranton to get some train time. I also got some pics off the ferry of containers in the NYC harbor.

 I was going to go to Horseshoe curve again but it may rain. It's a Sunday so not sure any train stores would be open? Would have loved to go south to NicholasSmith or others.... next time. Didn't make Cherry Valleyclub again! Urgg, thanks again for the offers, Joe

 

"I encourage you to enjoy the Curve, rain or no rain."

I seem to be having a History with the curve. When I go it rains! I went again anyways.

 I was with my lady so I had to step it back a bit. We did more tourist stuff than I probably would have chosen. Overall, it was very cool. We even saw the Flight 93 Memorial site. It was moving. It makes my girl sad but I still get angry!

 Charlie, Thanks again for the help. Ended up staying right next door to a NJ transit park and ride that the hotel told me to try. We were so tired that we just took the bus.

 I did get in as many train stops as I could get away with. Never got to Nicholas Smith. Was lost right near Trainworld and didn't know it untill the following morning. Couldn't figure out where to see any two rail stores. Drew offered to show us the club but we passed out from the heat! A trip to Jason's was delayed because we got stuck in construction but made it right before he closed. I want to thank him also. Many great deals. Good thing we were late! Seemed like everything was on sale. Missed Jimmy who was there the weekend before. Heared Jason mention that some NKP engine was coming through soon. I wonder who'll be at the controls?? (commander lashup?) Joe

One was "The Red Caboose", it was like 23 West 46th st.  You had to take a phone booth size elevator to the 3rd floor for it... I don't recall much in the way of O there, but lots and lots of HO.
 
The other one was just about across the street and in a basement.  It's name slips me. Not quite as cramped but a long skinny affair with a lot of NYC stuff. 
 
Hadn't been to them since the 1990's but they were neat.
