Barry,

Will the RCT&HS rolling stock and locomotives be open for photography on Saturday? I probably will not be able to attend Friday night, but want to get several close-up shots of the equipment for future modeling projects.

Thanks, Mark

HI Mark...
The Reading Railroad Heritage Museum I believe is normally open on Saturdays. So you might/should be able to stop by and get pictures. If you are not a RCT&HS member I believe admission is no more than $10.

We did not make any special arrangements for Saturday at the Museum, in conjunction with the MEET. We'll be busy at the high school with displays, clinics, and door prizes!

Hope to see you there!
Thanks,
Barry

Guys and Gals...
a quick "survey" ... what color do you think the t-shirt should be?
Take a look at these pictures - please remember that the white background on some images will NOT be there (that is just a basic image pasted on - I don't have any photoshop skills...)

Please post your choice - it MAY influence the final decision...

Ladies and Gentlemen...
MORE BIG news... our layout tour schedule has been filled!! Through some internet searches I have connected with two individuals from the NMRA-Mid-East Region - Division 11 and they have agreed to be open for the event. The really great thing, is these two guys are about a 1/2 mile apart from each other AND they are both only 5 miles from the Lehigh Keystone club layout that has also been secured for tour!
WOW - 3 layouts all in a close area and fairly easy to get to! I feel blessed to be able to have secured these for you - the participants!

Only THREE weeks away!! I see we have another YES on the attending survey! Great!

I have only heard back from one person on the Reading Modeler dinner idea... no one else interested?? Let me know!!

Thanks - see you soon!!
Thanks,
Barry

Barry,

I'm still on the fence at this point, due to family things going on with the MIL.

If I can make it, I plan on bringing a couple of my HO models.

I'm not sure what time I'd arrive on Friday night, I'm about at exit 34 on I-80, in NJ, and have to work until about 5:30PM. Guessing its about a 2 hour drive to Hamburg...

Am looking to clarify attendance ASAP.

Regards,
Carl
