HELLO ALL ----------
The weather cooperated somewhat for the 2016 June 4th MASS TRANSIT MODELERS SHOW by the New York City Model Transit Association. At Rutgers University, New Jersey.
The attendance in the two rooms provided was very good. A Lot of excellent models and displays -- including a "Modeling the EL's" presentation by me.
Steve Olsen, one of my fellow Co-Founder Charter Members of our NYCMTA Assn. -- and the Website Webpage manager, provides this link to excellent photos he took at this Meet. LINK BELOW:
I will add my own photos here a bit later when I get them to my computer from my digital camera.
It was good to see all the fellow modelers, historians and etc.,, people I know, and meet some new people attendees, as well as meeting many members of my own NYC Transit Modelers Group Forum. And I bought some goodies to take home, of course. We all had a good time -- if anyone else reading here was there, feel free to post you comments on this thread !
As usual, the event organizers, NYCMTA Charter Members Steve Olsen and Nate Gerstein, did a great job setting this June 2016 event up and coordinating all the functions, vendors, exhibits, and events !
The photo below shows me, Joseph Frank, (aka Joe F) at the Presentation Area section of the room with my display, including a long ago built but not finished, six foot EL Module, and some of my rolling stock posing on it.
