Fall Mid Atlantic Sn2 Module Meet
Location:
Neshamony United Methodist Church, 325 Main Street, Hulmeville, PA 19047
Notes:
Set up (for module bringers only) is Friday, September 18th from 6pm - 9pm. For non-module bringers, the cost of general admission is $15 at the door on Saturday.
This is a narrow-gauge module meet similar in spirit to the original Kimberton Mid Atlantic NG Module Meet. For now we will not have dealer tables, but there will be a table for a limited amount of "sell it yourself" extra kits and parts you may have. Bring a few of your extra On2, Sn2, and HOn30 kits to the show!
There will also be a "Show and Tell" table for displaying some of your latest narrow gauge modeling projects. Bring a model or two to share with everyone.
Last year the Maine Sn2 Modelers had 48 feet of Sn2 modules up and running on DCC. Everything ran and sounded great and we had a wonderful time. This year's Sn2 modular layout should be even bigger with the addition of one or two more modelers joining in. We may even have an HOn30 module or two on display. We are still finalizing other module groups that might be joining us. If you have a narrow gauge module (or module group) and would like to attend, please contact me off list.
This event is organized by Chris McChesney and Harry Downey. Contact Chris at cmcchesney1@verizon.net.
