More of my photos from the show this past March 2026.

Outside Mother Seton High School for young women.

One of the large rooms for the event.

The other room.

Cute N scale layout in a medium size suitcase.

The man designed and built the layout to fit snuggly inside the suitcase.

After the show we stopped at a tavern and soon after he dropped me off at a nearby train station.

At Liberty State Park station near Jersey City New Jersey.

Nearby at a walkway that overlooks New York City.

I take the New Jersey subway back to New York City. Thank you Frank for another wonderful day.

More memories from another thread.
"Well back from show. Being retired my eyes are a lot bigger than my wallet. Still I made one good purchase. A Rivarossi Challenger 4-6-6-4 Clinchfield Railroad. One of only two single stack 4-6-6-4's made by Rivarossi. The other is Delaware and Hudson. A Tyco Rogers old timer 4-6-0 in Baltimore and Ohio. It is black and I do not know if it is an original. The tender is factory detailed and so is the cab. Then some cars." Frank
