Trainstock 5 - All Invited

Change of plans.  Farmer Bill + 3 will not be making the trip this time.

Hey Ben, See below a couple of my favorite photos I took while at Trainstock 4. One at your meet and the other while traveling the EL out to Flushing. Both show some beautiful graffiti (in my opinion-lol) on a whole bunch of buildings and the other on a set of Subway cars at Trainstock. I would love to have a set of Subway cars like this, were they custom painted?

tks.

John S, I just showed the photo of Vinny, Ben and the eggplant parm to Marty. He says to put his name on the whole pan!

Ben/John, just googled the weather from Western Pa to Patterson Friday, Saturday & Sunday sunny in the 40's, may have some clouds on Saturday in Patterson.  May have one or two more friends with us, total group may be four. Can't wait to see the old crew, and new additions.

Ben:

Add one more to the list - I can make it again this year.

Less than a week to go!  To those that may want a taste of some of the sights to be seen, here are some links to prior Trainstock video I've taken.

Here's Tom Snyder's fantastic standard gauge layout from last year's Trainstock:

Hi John

Number One

I love looking at the videos from past Trainsocks to see how different the layout is now

Ben I think I will take you up on the offer. I will list some stuff on the sell board.

Thanks Brad

There are about 40 6 foot display cabinets that can be used to display and sell your items  Just bring some typpe of table cover to make it easier to see your items.  We also have some room on the club For Sale tables

Complications have arisen and I will be unable to attend. Look forward to reading the reports and seeing photos. Hopefully will be able to attend a future event.

Two Bills  Sorry you cant make it   Maybe next year

Here is the menu

Cold sandwiches in three varieties

Shrimp Cocktail

OOO doovers

Pasta Salad

Mixed salad

Stuffed Shells

Chicken MArsala

Eggplant PArm

Sausage and Peppers

Italian style hot dogs

Cake for dessert

What!  No Cannoli??? Heavens to Murgatroid!

Count me in....finally made it back from California and not going to miss this years social event of the year.  Only made it to the Sunday open house last year so missed out on a lot of things.  See everyone bright early Saturday morning.

I'm fairly sure I can find something in that menu to satisfy my appetite.   I look forward to the trip, and I'll be wanting to corner you and talk about getting DCS working well on our club layout.

As of Wednesday, it is a 50-50 chance of me of attending due to working on Saturday. I'll have to see what time I finish up that day. It is an hour drive to Paterson from my last stop.

I hope to attend with my JETS shirt on respectfully(Thank you Marty and Mike)!

Also, I do hope to pick up mallomars on Friday(a lot of them) to include them with the dessert menu.

So... we will see how my Saturday turns out. If not, you'll see me at Greenberg Edison and York of course!

Ted, I hope you can make it.  Just look for the guy with the Patriots shirt.  You remember them.

I am not going if Marty Fitzhenry and/or Ted Bertiger are going. Trainstock has certainly gone down hill if they let these two guys in.

Marty and Ted, looking forward to seeing you guys on Saturday.

Erol Gurcan 

Ben I originally gave you a five head count. Now it is me and eddiem and maybe John Russo. See you Saturday.

Add one to your list.

Thanks,

Hi Ben

Crazy question---I should know this but---

What time do things start ???

Thx

Joe S  

Looking forward to Saturday

Hi Joe  I originally said about 10 am but we will be here earlier if you want

@ Chuck  Guess what filling is in the cake

@ Jim R  

Those subway cars were custom done by an ex member of the club  I haven't seen him on the forum in awhile  His name is Sno and his handle is CCRider

He used to post over in the ModelTrainForum as well, and he hasn't been there in months either.

Ben,

If it's not too late, please sign me up for one adult attendee (with a very remote possibility of a second - but I think I'll probably be alone).

Thanks.  Should be a great time!

Just got the news, I have to be in Haverstraw for work on Sunday.  I'm going to stay up that way on Saturday night so I get to spend all day with the boys and girls. See you then.
