That’s cool. I don’t have a layout at home, but I’m treasurer of our club in Ephrata.

Dennis, you just gave me a good idea. Do you think there is interest in seeing the Clinton Central Model RR club's layout at the 2025 Central PA
Truckstock? Located in a 1894 New York Central RR station, it is in Castanea just across the Bald Eagle Creek from Lock Haven.


edit: it was built in 1884.

I’ve often wanted to go to their open house, but we’ve been up the wrong weekend. We’re going up today, so we’ll run down tomorrow to see it. Thanks for the reminder.

I've never been there so tell me if it is worth our time for TS.

Of course they would need someone there to open it for us in October. I don't know if they would do that.

Nope, just the lumber yard in Millway.

We went to the open house for the Clinton Central model railroad. Very nice, well worth us going to see it. I talked to the guys about us coming to visit during Truckstock, and they said they could open up for us.

I showed pictures from Truckstock and one of the guys recognized Abe’s truck. He said he built soccer fields with you.
I gave my business card for them to contact me and gave them a card from our railroad club. Sounds like 2 of them were going to come to our open house. We have 2 weekends open yet.
