Mission Statement: The purpose of this meet is to bring together fellow model railroaders regardless of skill level, to take part in informative clinics and to end the end help grow our great hobby.

News: We're currently working to line up people to give clinics and slide shows. As in past years, we hope to have a wide representation of prototype interests -- everything from New Haven to Pennsy to PC to Santa Fe. This meet isn't just confined to the Northeast region. Most importantly, we hope you the attendee can show bring in your models to our large model display room which is very well lit to show off your work. Locomotives, rolling stock, structures, vehicles and anything else that fits under the umbrella of prototype railroad modeling are always welcomed. We've been very lucky to have some first-class clinics offered by a host of accomplished modelers. We hope to have those folks back, while also adding some new faces. A few confirmed individuals include: Bob LaMay, Den Lippert, and Mike Rose.

This year layout tours will be restored and most will be open Sunday June 5, 2005.

The cost per person for attending both days is $--.00. Pre-registration is recommended and can be done by using the contacts below.

Thanks again and we look forward to seeing many of you in June.
