Hope you're off from your motorman job so we'll get to see you there this year.

H Chris   Have a little more time under my belt now and was able to put in for the day off   Will be great to see you

Ben

Set a reminder on my phone back at First Frost when an NJ HiRailer told me about this event.  Last night the reminder went off.  This morning, I finally found the thread I was looking for.

 

Count me in!  Hopefully I can convince the +1 to come with me.

 

I don't see an official event page anywhere.  Are there special driving instructions (Last year's thread mentioned traffic if you didn't follow the directions on the website).

 

See you all there!

I'll be there with Rich aka Botrainz who is getting back into the hobby after 2 years of getting through Sandy and his move off the Manahawkin waters. Home got flooded but was cleaned up and sold. Moved more inland and is in the process of building another layout. His trains were ok from that storm.

 

P.S. Will  be great to see Mark Spadaro. Haven't seen him in quite some time.

Ben, I was at your clubs layout 2 years ago with my wife and loved it.  It was an inspiration for me getting into the hobby.  This year I'm coming with 7 of my friends & neighbors from Delaware, 4 of which have their own layouts.  Can't wait to see the changes to the layout and meet some of the folks from the OGR forum.

My +1 is a Doctor as well.  She's an OB/GYN, though and has the weekend off.  So, if anyone's water should break due to shear excitement...we'll be covered!
