NEW NEWS....
We're still working on the details for one or two items before we officially open registration. We expect that to happen in April, with registration opening on or around May 1.

In "breaking news"... our event schedule will be a bit different from last years event, as the layout tours will be on Friday night, instead of Saturday. Thus, we had a bit of a hole in our schedule... what to do on Saturday night?? Well plans are in the works for a...
READING MODELER CONCLAVE
This will happen at the host hotel conference room. We'll probably get some pizza or snacks, refreshments and it will be the chance to really kibiz with your fellow RM webmates! We may even have a laptop or two around to show those NOT online what they are missing.
THANKS to Tom and the READING MODELER for sponsoring this activity!
Thanks,
Barry

HI again...
MORE GREAT NEWS to share.... we have received approval, to have Reading, Blue Mtn & Northern RR Shop Tours, as part of the RRRMM-II! These will happen on Sunday, Sept. 28th. Length and time of tours is still being worked on.

AND we have received permission to allow those that are participants of the RRRMM-II to have FREE admission to the RCT&HS Fall Train Show in Leesport. The Fall Show takes place the weekend after the RRRMM-II, but your MEET-II ID badge will get you free admission!

With just one or two final items to check on, we expect to open registration on May 1, 2014!

Stay tuned....!
Thanks,
Barry

I was talking to Dick Foley this evening, and for those who don't know him he gave a great seminar on the Reading's early auto box cars at the RPM meet 2014 in Malvern. During our conversation he seemed willing to do the same seminar at this years meet, but with more added information, should be a super presentation for any transition modeler. I am looking forward to this second annual event!
