The Boston Trolley Meet | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

NateOGR Forum Member

The Boston meet this past weekend was great. Many interesting items for display and sale. (see Transit Modelers post ) The East Penn Group had a working modular trolley line in operation. A special LRV work car paid us a visit outside the hotel and stopped for photo's, thanks to the Boston MTA. Another highlight of the event was the visit to the group's layout. The club has an O Scale, HO, and N Scale layout plus a lounge. They all were superb. I paid most attention to the O Scale pike. I was so impressed with the overhead trolley wire and the smooth operation of the track. The members were most gracious to us. If anyone is ever in the Boston area do not miss visiting this fantastic club. For more information on this event go to their webstite. I'm sure they will have photo's posted soon.
