One of the best train events EVER!! Anyone who is on the Forum and is within a couple of hundred miles really ought to try to attend. I attended for many years, but am now in Florida for the winter. I truly miss Trainstock. Have fun. 

Gerry

Looking forward to it.

Well Jan 18 is getting closer   Just to let everybody know we will be running a raffle again for some pretty interesting items

Second and third prize will be Rheingold / Gablingers beer reefers from MTH   These were our last special run beer cars

Barring blizzards, count me in.

Don’t forget to bring a few trains to run

Plenty of decent hotels within a 15-20 minute drive if the weather is bad! Or bring a sleeping bag  - plenty of spots to make yourself cozy for a night under the layout!

I think this goes better with our Rheingold car

I'm coming from Hartford CT area with two friends who just moved to Tenafly. See you on 18th. Happy New year!

Hats off to the NJ HiRailers, for hosting another grand event with trains and food and fellowship.

Thanks for the straight line Tom!

Our annual hat is about to be delivered and will be available for purchase at Trainstock for $15.  This year's logo is in honor of the special train that the NYCTA ran to recognize Trainstock 12.   Or maybe it's just a fantasy scheme.  Yours to decide!

Hope to see you all there on the 18th!

My dad and I will be coming. Thank you for this great event.

I plan to attend with my son...  thank you for having this event!!

I can't make it once again, family gathering that day.

Cool hat!  Have to add that one to the collection.

Ben. I almost forgot about it. The post seems lost and not out front or on top. Hopefully Ed and I will be there.

Ben,

I will be there to cause my usual trouble. We also need to have a moment of silence and/or tribute to Marty Fitz! Looking forward to seeing all my friends.

Forget hopefully, WE'LL BE THERE (unless of course, there is a major storm)

Maybe 1 or 2 others will join us, but not sure!

Thanks for hosting this great event... something to look forward to after the Holidays.

I'll be there, too, Ben!

Maybe I'll bring a train to run also, but we'll see.
