Check out the huge crowd at the 12-21-14 Holiday Season Open House event held at the NJ Hi-Railers Club in Paterson NJ. Lionel employee and LCCA Director, Bill Schmeelk was there representing the LCCA, meeting with LCCA members and introducing Lionel Trains and the LCCA to the approximate 1000 guests who attended this Holiday Season Event. As you can see, this event was a huge success and fun was had by people of all ages. Happy Holidays! More photos to follow. 
Thank you NJ Hi-Railers!

BTW.   That's Phil G.  He is the brains behind the HJHR calendar we are selling.  His idea, his execution and his selling skills!

Chris,

 

Great shots. great work. Calendars were a hit. Quite a few folks were impressed by the pictures, the quality of the work and the fact that a portion of the proceeds go to Charity. 

 

To all RR fans - this is a great calendar with quite a few shots of the layout with a wide variety of locomotive power. Cost is $10.00 + shipping. Chris and Phil did an outstanding job.

See if you can figure out which "kid" is the happiest!

I can't make up my mind.  All of the "kids" look they are all having a great time!   Thank you again for hosting this fun event.  I wish I could have been there.

I think the happiest kid is that guy in the red suit.  He had the most fun out of anybody there.  He has to be the biggest Christmas fan I have ever met.  And he cooks pretty good too.  

As for the picture with the elf  If it was for the happiest dirty old man  Jim would win

Well putting those two kids up one after the other, I don't know which is the happiest.  Santa is hard to tell under that beard.  Wow, a tough call.  I will vote for Santa's helper, Elf Nice!

 

What a great event, Phil, Jim, Ben, and all who worked to make this event a success!

BTW, the calendar is great!!

Here are some more photos of guests and lucky LCCA door prize winners taken during the 12-21-14 Holiday Open House Event at the NJ Hi-Railers Club.  Look at all of those happy LCCA door prize winners!   Thank you Bill Schmeelk and Kevin Martin for representing the LCCA at this fun and festive event. Check out the fantastic layout in the background.  It is nearly  impossible to take in and recognize all of its unique features and details.  Great job NJ Hi-Railers!

Looks like a great event!

The layout is superb. My son Mason and I visited the layout for the 2013 Halloween open house.

 When you only have 6 hours in New York where do you go.

Mason still talks about his visit to the NJ Hi-Railers. I wonder what his class at school thought when he was asked about his trip to New York.....I went to a old silk mill in Jersey

 

Merry Christmas from over the pond 

Nick
