Open House - Lower Susquehanna Valley Railroad Club - Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday (York Week)

My club York group and I may have to pay a visit Wednesday night after our Bandit Meet and LHS visits.  Always enjoy seeing other clubs' layouts!

We visited tonight and really enjoyed talking to everyone, seeing the layout, and the HO layout upstairs was a bonus.

Anyone at York looking for an evening activity, should consider going.  It is a fairly short drive from York.

Chris here from the LSVMRR club.  We had an amazing turn-out yesterday.  The Detroit 3railers stopped by and run PS3.0 No 734 Western Maryland, Lionel UP 4-12-2, and Maine Central RS-11's.  The Pittsburgh Independent Hi-Railers stopped in.  It was a great time hanging out with them.

Others stopped by from California, Maryland and some locals from Pennsylvania.

We are open tonight from 5-9.  Stop by and check us out.  The modular is open to run your trains.

Enjoy York everyone. 

Nice layout with a friendly bunch of guys. Large HO club layout upstairs featuring a replica of Columbia, PA. Definitely worth the 15 min drive from your hotel.

Just spent an hour there.  Nice layouts upstairs and downstairs.  Had a nice time chatting with the club members.

Chris here from the LSVMRR club.  The club is open today from 10am-5pm.  Stop by after York to check us out.  Feel free to bring an engine to run!

Thanks for stopping by Steve and boilermaker.

Look forward to meeting you Billy C.  If you purchase anything from York, feel free to bring it with you.  We allow York purchases to be tested and ran on the layout. 

Hey guys…even if you visited in the past, we have a bunch of new stuff we have been working on this past year. If you have some time, please consider stopping by. I plan to be there every day and would enjoy meeting and chatting with you.

Thanks.

Don

Can't wait! I know there is no parking offered directly... but where is typically a good place to park?

Parking:

There is a lot of street parking near the club.  Free street parking on Second Street and Walnut Street.  There is a small lot on Avenue H only on the right side that says meter parking.  That is available to park after 5.  Do not park on the left side of Avenue H.  That is for Chickies Rock Moose club only.  If you park on Avenue H feel free to ask any club member to verify you are parked correctly

There is additional meter parking on Locust Street.

In the past we haven't had any issues with people finding parking within a block or two of the club.

While our plans are not currently set, my club group might be going to Strasburg on Wednesday, and if so, we will be stopping by on our way back.  We've visited twice before, and highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been.

If you are in town, this event is definitely worth the time! The guys (and a few gals too) are really friendly and have a superb layout. Mr. chessiechick and I stopped by a year ago during York week and were warmly met by Don and some other folks. We liked the club so much that we ended up joining!

We hope to be at the club this Friday evening sometime, if we haven't already exhausted ourselves doing all of York in one day. (Dang job gets in the way, but I am re-retiring soon so that won't be an issue come next April!) I'll be in the BRIGHT YELLOW Chessie t-shirt - stop and say hi, I'd love to meet you!

I will be stopping by on Wednesday  Thanks

Stopped by on Wednesday afternoon.  Friendly and enthusiastic folks - nice to see that younger guys are participating.  The club has the best scenery that I've seen on a modular layout, and there are numerous whimsical scenes.  They also have a small portable layout that has a couple of innovative features.  If you're in the area, it's well worth a stop.

The HO club upstairs has an impressive layout.  The centerpiece scene is a model of the town of Columbia.

Anyone have some pics for those of us unable to make it for all of the fun?!!

To Don and all your dedicated crew……..thank you for a great time and for your gracious hospitality!

The layout was fabulous and fun. The trains were great and the layout was superb!

The detail on the HO layout blew me away!

Thank you so much. I’m looking to a return visit!
