Came to an open house last year. Had a wonderful time. This will be my first trainstock event. Looking forward to being there. Can't wait to see the changes you all have made.
Great I have updated the list and look forward to seeing everybody
Ben, Eddiem (Ed Montagnino)and I will be coming again and we will be bringing a guest, John Russo.
post the list
Hi Ben:
Thanks again and always looking forward to this wonderful event. You and the guys are the best. At this point I don't know who would be coming with me as
my friends can't plan more then a few weeks ahead but I will inform the club when I get a name or two for the badge(s).
I have always put $5.00 in the donation container each time I've come to
Trainstock so charging $5.00 admissiion, no problem.
Looking forward to the METCA dinner on November 5th.

John Kitterman is the giy that built the layout for Tom Snyder. He hasn't seen it since it was originally installed in Mr Snyders house
BTW I for got to mention that there is plenty of table space if anybody wants to put things out for sale Just pick a spot and set up.

Its a known fact that Santa Fe is strictly forbidden to run on the Patersonb layout Now we have pictures of that ugly war bonnet stuff in the thread

Ben,
After due deliberation and offerings to the snow supreme beings to make sure that nothing interferes, BillP and I will be making the trek up the NJ Turnpike to that famous hamlet in which your club resides.
In simple English, 2 more.

We finally got power to the tracks at the refinery We were running through there last night at 1 am. Motivation is to get it ready for Trainstock.
Ben that sounds great. I hope someone will get pictures/viedo of the trains and the refinery. Thanks for all the effort to get that area up and running.
Hi Ben, January 14th please put me down as being there.
Hi Ben and NJ hi-railers Guys. We are putting together some intial plans for the Trainstock weekend and are looking at taking a train from Buffalo to NY city. We will probably leave by train on friday and return on that monday. I nor my wife nor our freinds have been to this area in many years, so we need a lot of assistance on directions, places to stay etc, etc. I know we must see Times Square among other sites along w the trip over to New Jersy on saturday to take part in Trainstock- What are some suggestion on mode of transportation to Trainstock, is there a map and or an address so we can get an idea on location.

Jim here's the address

Paterson, NJ 07524
I'm sure someone on the forum can give you travel by train tips to get from NYC. In the mean time Google NJ transit and see if trains run to Paterson, also look into renting a car to drive out.
Things to do/see
You can get tickets to see the 9/11 memorial on line.
Macy's, Empire State building, China town - Little Italy
Lots of good stuff in NYC, all depends on time and preferences.

I stayed in Hoboken, NJ(20 minutes from TRAINSTOCK) to get a hotel view of Manhattan...took the PATH train into MIDTOWN(22 minutes)...went up to street level...took tour busses that let you get on and off at attractions. Think it costs less than $100 for tours per couple...with a 48-hour time limit to use. See ALL of Manhattan and part of Brooklyn..Ron B.
HI guys, thanks for the suggestions and other info. Is there by chance a subway train that we could take? I say this becauce i need to check out the elevated designs, elevated stations, etc.

Thanks John.
Hopefully we will have enough time to accomplish all these places. What i meant to say was taking a subway from NYC to Transtock 4 in NJ, is this posible or are we better off taking a taxi, there will be 4 of us in the party.
tks.

Jim, Manhattan has subways all over, mostly underground. you can take one into Brooklyn and see lots of elevated lines. there is a nice subway yard in Coney Island and Coney Island station is pretty spectacular also. might as well stop at Nathans for a dog or Totonos for a slice of pizza

who else got that
We'll all be safe if we run into Rocker. We speak English!
