Thanks to Ben Fiorello for the opportunity today to visit the NJ High Railers. I had a great time. Ben gave me the five-star tour of wonderful layout. He picked me up at my NYC hotel and drove me to New Jersey layout and back. I hope you got to your grandson's baseball game on time. Many thanks for a great day! Ben, you have an open invitation next time your driving though Cleveland. - Conrail John

Hi John, this is a very kind and true post. Ben is an A1 man and so is all the folks at the NJHR club.
There are not many places a person can go and be made to feel so at home. I wish that I could spend more time with them but time and distance can be confounding issue in my life.
First rate Ben.
Ben is the King of his castle!!!
All the folks in that group are wonderful ambassadors. As I have said before, they welcomed me and my young son and patiently answered a million questions. They let him run a train on the big layout during a show, and have helped to keep him interested in trains while I try to get our layout moving.
Anyone who hasn't visited the NJ Hi-Railers layout is missing out on quite an experience. I went for the first time earlier this year, and I hope to go back many times in the future, what a sight!
I agree, Ben is a class act, and a credit to the forum.
Ben is an awesome train ambassador.
Wow guys Thanks for the kind words
Spider! Spider!
It's still on my bucket list. Maybe I can time it with L.C.
Ben,
I would take John up on his offer. He has a great layout and a wonderful family. His wife Patty puts out a food spread that is second to none!
Of course ya know, you will have to swing through Mercer to get there.
