Visit to Schenectady, NY

Bill, Thanks for the post, very nice pictures.

Jim, Great layout!

Bill:

An excellent series of photos!  I recognized quite a few scenes from Jim's various OGR articles.  I've been reading Jim's articles for years now, but your photos finally help to establish the overall perspective of Jim's beautiful model railroad.

Awesome photo's Bill, looks like a great time, and Jim's layout is beautiful.

Thanks for sharing, Alex

Both the photos and Jim's layout are great!

Thanks for posting the link to your web site.

Bill:

You are having way too much fun and hope you continue since forum members enjoy you photo essays.

Your shots of Jim Policastro layout are wonderful and even enlighten those of us who are local to Jim and see his layout from time to time.

Thanks -- eager to see more.

Bill,

It was a pleasure having you visit Schenectady. The photos came out great - thanks for posting them.

Bill: I was born & raised in Schenectady; too bad you didn't see the GE sign at Christmas when they change the bulbs to colored ones (used to be red, green & clear..).

If you have the time while in NH, you really should try to ride the Mt. Washington Cog Railway.

Guys, I'm glad that you enjoyed the photos. Jim was a great host and we really had a great time.

Jim, thank you again for having me over. It was a great evening.

D&H 65, My wife and I rode the Winnipesaukee RR in Meredith on Wednesday. I don't foresee doing the Mt. Washington Cog Railroad. My wife seen pictures of it and said I would have to go without her.

May I suggest you ride the Conway Scenic RR, out of N. Conway, NH, as long as you're in the area? They run through really spectacular scenery, near Mt. Washington, & have interesting trains. Their web site is: www.conwayscenic.com

Dick,

We rode the Conway Scenic Railroad when visiting here 6 years ago. Just not going to have the time to go up there again on this trip.

I live in Schenectady and this past Monday went to NH on vacation too.  Went to Lincoln in the beginning of the week.  At Lincoln is the Hobo Railroad and Clarks Traiding Post where the White Mtn Central is located.  Went to the Hobo a found out the Flying Yankee is being restored and housed there.  Tried to get a look at it but it was under cover and would not be displayed until August.  I understand there is a Shay at Clarks but it too was inside and not to be seen.  Wednesday went to the Cog and took that up to the top of Mt Washington.  Thursday and Friday we stayed in Weirs Beach which was not far from you.  Saw the train run by several times, the Alco loco pulling it built right here in Sch'dy.  My vacation is done, I hope you continue to have a good time on the rest of yours

I was in Meredith a couple of times last week. Also visited the Conway Scenic and grabbed a pice of coal as big as a melon. Got bored and visited Hartmann's on Friday. Bought some back issues of MR there and also from Klickety Klack. Back home after a glorious two weeks of vacation at the lake house in NH.
