The Best Value in Model Railroading - Pgh Model Railroad Jamboree

G3750G3750OGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

On April 23, 2022 the Keystone Division of the NMRA will once again hold its Model Railroad Jamboree.  This event represents one (if not the) best value in model railroading.  For $55 ($45 if you are an NMRA member), you get:

  • A day of historical and how-to clinics (12 total)
  • Continental breakfast and lunch included
  • Contests
  • White Elephant Sale
  • Raffles (scale specific)
  • Displays
  • Layout tours (including a number of 3-rail layouts - Neal Schorr's fabulous PRR Middle Division)

For an additional $35 there is a banquet at the end of the day which features Ryan Kunkel of Lionel as speaker.

I've been attending this event every year since 2006.  It's a wonderful source of inspiration, information, new ideas, and a chance to meet modelers with similar interests.  There will be a number of 3-railers in attendance.

Here's the Jamboree page where you can register on-line:  https://www.keystonedivision.o...e_2022/jamboree.html

George, The last time I attended a Pittsburgh Model Railroad Jamboree was probably around the time you first attended.  It was in the Lutheran Church on Rowan Road in Cranberry Township.  I looked over the Web page you linked, and it seems there is a lot more going on than there was 15 or so years ago.  I am going to try to attend this one.  Thank you for posting!!!

I hope to see you there, Mark.  And I hope to see a lot of other 3-railers there as well.  In the past, we've had a number of prominent 3-rail presenters, including Bob Bartizek, Neal Schorr, and Norm Charbonneau.  In my opinion, the best thing about this event is the ideas it generates.  Regardless of scale, there's a lot to think about.

And, it's just a lot of fun.
