Sponsored by the NRHS, at Dieruff High School in Allentown.

If anyone wants to meet up, let me know. I can also give you directions if you aren't sure how to get there.

Yup. This is train show season. Sunday is Dieruff, NEXT Sunday is Leesport, and the Saturday after that - Timonium!

No, but I do plan to go to the NMRA national show in Phili next year, including some of the prototype tours ......... repair shops, dispatching, industries.

Maybe we can meet up, if you want.

My employer normally controls a small block of rooms at the nice Marriott right there all year long. I'm checking into it. One of the beds in the hotel room could have your name on it!

I've been planning for that. Dunno about staying over, my father in law commuted to Center City for years when he worked for Conrail, so we have the park and ride the train thing pretty well down.

Of the three PA plus Timonium shows coming up in the next month or so, ths is probably the weakest, unless you are looking for paper or other collectibles. But you should definitely think about hitting up some of the other shows around here. You might SEE more at the big NMRA show, but the prices are nothing special. Smaller shows have that beat for sure.

I emailed you, dunno if you got it. In case you didn't - it opens at 10am, we get there right about then, not before, there's nothing I need so desperately right now that I have to be in the door first so I can get to it. I'll be in an orange shirt. In case you don;t remember, to get to Dieruff you go down Airport Road, cross over Union Boulevard, and it's a couple of blocks down on the left.
