"A train club vid for you and me!"
Yes, the Bergen County Model Railroad Club is having their Pearl River Train Show, the video's new, and I believe the show runs for another week, so if you're in the area try and stop in. There's a link with information in the video post, click on "Show More."
Lot's of cool trains in this one! Well worth a look!

Excellent camera work too!
Great video! I especially liked the hospital trains.
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
And everyone looks like they're having a good time too!
I'll tell you, I just love that Pennsy S-1! Like something out of a "Flash Gordon" serial!
Trivia question! Who was Flash Gordon's son? The actor, Buster Crabbe's son, that is.

That's a good question, I have no idea. I'm not going to cheat with an internet search, you're just going to have to tell me.
Very nice video, Thanks!

You're welcome KRM! I'll be checking for follow-ups too.
Don't they look a lot alike?
Buster:
Wayne:
Wayne Rogers? "Trapper John?" Are you sure about that?
Positive? No. I couldn't find anything "official". But Crabbe's co-star in Flash Gordon was Jean Rogers:
Movie set love child?
OK, I went looking too and didn't find anything official either. Buster had three children, Sande, Susan, and Cullen. Cullen was the boy.
Late with acknowledging your post - great. My only question is where was this when I lived in Park Ridge NJ? I was about 15 - 20 min. away from this . Wayne
Yeah, I never heard of them either until years after I moved to Virginia. If I ever move back up there I'll definately have to look 'em up. Of course there's only two chances of me ever moving back to NJ, slim and none.
Anyway, here's their website. http://www.bcmrrc.com
Here's their "clubhouse," it's on the second story of the old Erie train station in Hillsdale.

And here's two follow-up videos of the Pearl River Train Show. The first is the Standard Gauge layout, the second is the carnival layout. Honestly, the camera work isn't quite as good as the video I originally posted, but it's not bad and still interesting.
