Dear Forum Members,

My wife asked me what I would like to do last week for Fathers Day.

I told her after church I would go to the CV club and run my trains !!!

Please enjoy the attached videos of a converted Lionel PRR CC2 (By Joe F.) his last of 54 conversions for me , Sunset C&O H8 Allegheny pulling a string of converted Lion Scale C&O 79,000 series 3 bay hoppers and a Sunset PRR Q2 with a string of Atlas/ Middle Division PRR H21 hopper cars.

Running eastbound is fellow member Chip Burnett running his GM&O doodlebug and newly acquired C&NW RDC .

Come visit us if you are in the Philly/South Jersey-Shore area this summer.

We will be also open during the Merchantville Car Show 07/13/2019.

I visited the Cherry Valley club a couple of years ago. It is truly impressive. Being a fan of electric railroading, I was particularly struck by the catenary workmanship.

Great videos! No wonder Joe retired - you worked him to exhaustion! Nice models!

Impressive in all aspects. Is Drew McCann (hope I got that correct) still working on the club's catenary?

Very enjoyable videos, thanks for posting them! It looks like the C&O is making more money than the Pennsy. Their hoppers are full while the PRR's have some extra room. Maybe the miners are staging a work slow down.
