Ken DiRocco, Dennis Oberholtzer, and Mark Anderman (along with anyone else who cares to join us) are going to 

revive the S-Gauge "Steam-Up” on   May 17th and 18th , 2025

at Ken DiRocco's business location.  

That location is Impact Advertising, 4642 US-220, Linden, PA 17744.  This location is easy to access from Rt 220 west of Williamsport.  There is plenty of parking.

 

~~~~~~~~

Come on Saturday to help build a temporary layout or come Sunday to view what has been created.  Bring your S-gauge trains to run or just your assembly skills and join the fun.

 

E-mail with questions to:

 

manderman@comcast.net.

 

Mark your calendar now... We hope to see you there.

 

Thanks

 

Mark Anderman

Adding to what Mark Anderman wrote above:

• The “Steam-Up” is a 2-day Saturday-Sunday event, where people I view as "S gauge Flyer-holics” set up a fairly complex S gauge layout on Saturday, and then operate it on Sunday, and take it down.
• 
  
• For some PHOTOS of some previous Steam-Ups, see Message 78 in the Track2 Railnet's Groups.io message archives

• Our 'Previous Meeting Dates' page shows previous meetings. 
• However, the “writing on the wall” appears to be, that we will probably have far less meetings in the future — due to members aging and dismantling layouts, plus people being busy with other things.

Schedule Notes: 

• York TCA dates can be found near the bottom of the left column of the TCA's 'Read More' page.
• Allentown show dates are at AllentownTrainMeet.com .
• The Williamsport 'Toy Train Expo' is usually the last weekend in November.
• Williamsport 'Whistle Stop Train Show' is usually the 1st Saturday (used to be Sunday) in December.

  Meeting Notes:

• Guests: Call a contact person for exact location and directions.
• Time: Regular meetings normally start at 2 pm, end around 4 or 5 pm.
• Day: Most meetings are usually scheduled on the 2nd Sunday, except the May meeting is scheduled for the 3rd Sunday to avoid Mothers Day. . . . . . The 2nd Sunday usually has the least conflicts with holidays. See the "Generalized Meeting Schedule" page for the general outline of our schedule.
