NJ HiRailers Trainstock event Is On for saturday APRIL 2

Hi Ben,

Will see everyone on the second with at least 3 friends.

Ken

Hi good morning, Ben me Alan AND Anna WILL BE THERE WITH BELLS ON and can't wait to see you all again and play your organ and enjoy all your new train layouts with Marty Fitzhenry's accessories added!

Alan and Anna

Looking forward to it.  Having the opportunity to go home with something from Marty's layoutvisca special treat.

Ben,

I cannot make it on that day as it is both grandsons’ birthday party. I will get an idea of how many club members will attend but I would assume about 5 or so.
We have a member who just joined and never saw your little empire who is in for a rude awakening! Lol!

Regards, Ted

I will be there!!!!

Good afternoon Ben (Bluelinec4) ,

I will be at Trainstock (you are very lucky to have me). In your post above, among other things, you stated  you would be auctioning off Marty's turntable (how the NJHR got this when it has nothing to do with model railroading is odd). However, as a long time friend of Marty, I would be interested in buying it, as well as any other stereo equipment that the club was able to get from him, including any stereo receiver, CD player, cassette deck and speakers. Perhaps you could offer a package deal if I bought all of Marty's stereo equipment. Let me know.

Erol

I look forward to attending my first one.

Erol,

We don't have any of Marty's stereo equipment.  And as for the Turntable, if by some chance no one buys a raffle ticket then it's your to buy.

See you at TS.

I think Erol thought it was a record turntable while it actually is a locomotive turntable for the engines on the layout.  JP

Great news that 13 is ON! Not so great news, I will not attend.

That never occurred to me.  Makes sense now.

Chris,

The fact that you did not get my silly joke causes me concern. The play was on the word turntable, record turnable vs. layout turntable. Has it been so long that no one knows what a record turntable is anymore? Bob Feneran would know what a turntable is.

Erol

I got it Erol

Hey, I not only know what a turntable is, I raise you one I have a tube amplifier, so there

Oh, this is great news. Been wanting to visit this club a long time. Gonna see if I can drag my cousin along.

Hi Ben, et al.

Kathie and I will be there. It's always great to explore what you've changed on the layout and see long, multi-engine trains running on your spectacular railroad. See you all in a week.

Chris

Unfortunately I have to miss this one.  My son has several concerts at college next weekend and my parents asked if I would take them along - they had no idea I had Trainstock and was planning to only go to the performances Saturday night and Sunday.  Seeing as how they're both in their 80s I can't very well say no - I can't be sure they'll be physically up to making the trip in subsequent years.

You're doing the right thing Greg. There will be many more Trainstocks.  We'll miss you at the tipple!

Don and I will be there representing Boothe Memorial Railway Society in Connecticut!  Possibility of 2 more... will know soon!

Looking forward to it!

Planning on stopping by with my wife and son. It’ll be my first time at the layout. Looking forward to it.

I will not be able to make it as I have to work during the morning and in the afternoon I will be glued to my television watching my Villanova Wildcats in the Final Four that day. I will see everyone though at York in a couple of weeks.

look forward to attending, will be there in the afternoon, thanks

I will attend with one or two people

Ben,

Looks like 5 or 6 club members are attending. The prez cannot attend.
Ted

I'll be there with my wife.

Any suggestions on finding a parking spot - looks like all the streets are packed on Google?

There is a parking lot on 11th street.   Otherwise it's a hunt!.  Should be a little better as it's the weekend.

Thanks, Chris.

Ill be there!

Hello Ben:

Able to make it along with HOBob and his grandson. First time for grandson.

Walter

Thank you highrailer family for a great time the RR looks terrific!! And it's great to see in person members of our OGR family!!

Another great event.  Half way home i got a call, won one of the marty raffle pieces.  Will go back on wednesday to pick up the roundhouse.  60 plus years of raffles,  first win.

Almost got there this year. It was part of the plan for the day but the rest of the plan fell apart. Next year.....

Congrats @necrails

Bob

Thanks for all the great pictures Don !

You don't visit for a few years and they change everything!  We were amazed at all the changes/improvements/additions that we noticed on today's visit.  Beautiful and creative work!

The one constant is Vinny's brunch and lunch!  It's always spectacular and today was no exception. I liked everything on the menu, and the Eggplant Parmigiana was better than any I've had in a restaurant!   We appreciate you, Vinny!!! (and of course, your team of cooks and servers!)

(even the bread was off the charts!)

Wow, what a great time and the layout looks great. The rod was great and one of the best parts is chatting with fellow forum members. Best time ever!😊👍

What's"the Rod"?

Thanks, NJHR. Looking forward to next year, #14

Hello Ben:

Missed seeing you there but Vinny and his crew kept us all well fed. Enjoyed a few words with Erol and Gun Runner John. HO Bob's little grandson had a ball too...hard to get him away from the wooden train set. Picked up a few things from Marty's layout that will definitely be incorporated into my layout very soon.

Walter

Looks like a great time. Sorry I couldn't make it. Too much necessity running around today. Maybe next time.
