For you New Yorkers, Nov. 8th is the 38th annual Railroad Exposition at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie. This is the second year the expo will feature a massive G scale layout. The Mid Husdson Valley G scalers and the Hudson Valley Large Scale Club has been given the very large stage to set up their layout on which they will be running very long trains of all eras. A great time was had by all last year so for those who didnt attend last year, make it a point to stop by and say hello this year. Any large scale hobbyists or those who are thinking about it are invited to stop by. If you have some equipment you haven’t had the ability to run at home, you can try it out on their track. The Expo also features all scales from Z to 1 1/2 and also has many vendors selling everything, including G, for the hobbyist. Admission is only $5 for adults, $ student/senior and $2 under 12. The Civic Center has loads of parking and is walking distance from the Amtrak/Metro North station in Poughkeepsie. For more info, maps, etc, go to www.hvrrs.org.
