Unfortunately my wife and I will not be able to attend. She has too much going on at work and with the wildfire issues here in Southern California we don't want to be too far from home. We'll see you all at York in April!
Have lots of fun at Trainstock and hopefully you guys will find a suitable new location. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Two for me, hopefully I can bring my dad to see this incarnation of the layout for the first and last time 🥺
Just going to be me this time, my planned ride is under the weather, so I'm going to schlep over the way I always do--NJTransit. At least I know the particulars of the trip (particularly the return trip) and will likely get there by noon this time.
Bringing CamTrak and a pair of idler gons, still hoping to get video of each loop

Hi all. Is Trainstock appropriate to pop in for an hour or so with a toddler? Don't want to kill the vibe of it's not meant for the very young train enthusiasts. I haven't been since the first Trainstock

I don't think anyone would mind. The more the merrier!
Just popped the donation to the gofundme site, we'll be leaving shortly to see you all up there.
I just can’t accept the fact that the flu has kept me from attending Train stock 16. My grandchildren have enjoyed many trips to previous Train stocks And we were so looking forward to this one. Selfishly,I want to mask up and head over, but if anybody else got sick, I would never forgive myself.
Hopefully Ben, John, Vinny, Bob, & the whole crew will find a new place and reestablish the New Jersey high railers.
Just want to say thank you for doing this special event for th O Gauge forum group. Had a terrific day. Meet a lot of folks and saw many old friends. The goddess great as always and hope it will continue in your new homeland. Thank you again.

My first ever visit. It was a pleasure meeting several of you in person and attaching a voice to your respective avatars.
Awesome facility and layout. Looking forward and thinking positive to the future ahead.
I want to thank the NJ HiRailers for the continuing love of the hobby and all the contributions they do to it. My brother and I had an excellent time chatting with Ben, Don Klose and a few others. Chef Vinny kicks butt even though the stove was removed, my brother said The food really hit the spot. I did see Gunrunner John, but I believe he probably left before I could get over and talk with him(he was by the kitchen when we came in).
I took a ton of pictures and shot some videos, probably should have took more. Tall Building Tuesday will have some new material coming from me in the future of the beautiful layout before the move. Here's a few shots from today.
After putting it off until "next year", I finally made it. Incredible level of detail and workmanship, especially for such a large layout. Great bunch of folks - Tom made a special effort to show me around.
Just returned home after a great visit to the NJHR and Trainstock 16.
Also nice to put faces to the screen names including @Amfleet25124.
The food was great, and so was the cake.
My son and I enjoying the view.

I too just got home. We had a great time seeing friends, a gargantuan layout and great food Thanks Ben, Vinny, Chris, John and Alex and all the NJHR members.
Our club and Eddiem and myself donated to help with a future move.
We wish them all the best.
no

I also want to thank Ben and all the HiRailers for there generous invitations over the years to hang out at their amazing layout. Had to pop in this morning for one last look at the layout (and look forward to what the future holds). Here are a few samples of the incredible workmanship…
P.S. sorry I missed you Bob @RSJB18
🎼 And the trains on the tracks go round and round… 🎶
And on the whimsical side… Kevin (aka @Amfleet25124) when he has to transfer to the bridge bus when his commuter train gets discombobulated…

Great pictures Paul.
A good time was had by all. I was surprised there weren't more people there, but we did have plenty. Company and food were great, it's a sad day for the layout. The good news is, they're already in negotiation for a new building for the revival of the NJ-HR.
John that’s great news, they are gone for now like Ben posted not to long ago
