Visit to New Hampshire

Bill, I sent you an email... 

Hey Bill, You and yours, as well as any Forum members are always welcome if you happen to be in the Boston/Dedham area. Marty, Ralph and I would love to run trains with you if you can fit us into your schedule.

Jim,

Nice talking with you this evening. I sent you an email about getting together on Thursday (July 26) instead of Friday (July 27).

Dotty,

If you are referring to the Boston Metro Hi-Railers Model Railroad Club, then JimQ already invited me to see it.

Hi Bill, The Boston Metro Hirailers are in Wilmington, on the North Shore. Marty Fitzhenry's layout is in Dedham, just south of Boston, if you don't mind travelling a few miles further south. Most people feel it is worth the extra time to see it, since it runs with live catenary, among other spectacular features.

Bill,

My sister lives only a couple of miles away from the scenic railroad in Meredith, NH.  It is a great place to visit, and I am sure you will enjoy your trip on the railway. Have done it several times and it is still fun.

One of the largest Harley Davidson dealerships on the East Coast is right next to railroad headquarters.  You and Judy can always trade in your car right there and ride home in style on a Harley  Boy, would Judy like that.

Should also take a boat with you and take in some trememdous bass fishing but being middle of summer it could really test your skills! (and patience!)

Bill:

Just sent you an e-mail.

I do not fish and hate being on the water. I spent 4 years in the Navy, and seen enough water to last a few life times. Also I do not have the patience.

Ed,

Would not have enough room on a motorcycle to haul all the stuff we take with us.

JimQ has already offered to take me to the club's layout and also to Marty's. We are working on the details now.

Actually Dotty, I will be in your vicinity when I come over in October. I hope I catch up with you and Marty at York, and maybe we can meet up again. I'd love to say hello to Ralph!

Bill,

That is a darn shame about the Harley.  You could always UPS the extra stuff home

Just think, the wind whipping through your beard as you forge ahead in full leathers.  It would be a stunning sight for all who encountered you and Judy! (Well, sort of)

Enjoy your trip up here to New Hampster. Head on over to Lincoln,and you can see the B&M's Flying Yankee in the final stages of restoration at the Hobo RR. The Conway Scenic RR is a wonderful take, and it houses a very nice layout in the freight station. Finally, if headed to Meridith, head to the Klickety Klack RR in Wolfboro. Huge layout there, and he sells some O gauge in the store.

where are you staying in manchester..... have fun in newhampshire.. I think new hampster is only in the western part of state

Hi Dave Allen!!!  Always glad to hear from you. We will be at York as usual, and would love to have you stop by on your way there or back. Ralph will be happy to see you, too. All we have to say is "train guys are coming" and he gets excited and wants to go downstairs to get the trains running.

We are staying at the Holiday Inn Express on South Porter St. It is about 2 miles from friends I was stationed with in the military back in the late 70's early 80's at Keesler AFB, MS.

Thanks for the info. Don't think we will have time to do the Klickety Klack or Hobo RR. We rode the Conway Scenic RR in October 2006 and really enjoyed it as well as the drive across the Kangamangus Highway.
