All right you North Easters;
There is one in place. The weather might be iffy., but it's at one of the
greatest places you can go to. Check your S I G
Sept./Oct issue. Yes it's the weekend steamup on President's day weekend in
Steamtown U.S.A. They gave us a section of the roundhouse. "G" scale
sparkies as well as a new Mike Moore Nice multi loop 45mm and 32 mm setup.
We had a glorious time last year. They even gave us a special shop tour of
what is going on in the shops. D.H.? No. But if you're looking for a mid
winter break in a nice indoor setup......
