Stan and Debbie are great hosts and their railroad is nothing short of amazing. We had a chance to run on it after Bob’s TrainOps session last fall.

NELS2012 is fast approaching. We currently have over 50 signed up for Saturday’s event and so far the weather looks good. Sections of the layout will be configured for DC/DCC/RC and Live Steam with lots of layout space to run anything you wish to bring.

The white elephant table also looks to be popular this year with many bringing Large Scale equipment to sell or trade.

On Friday Evening we still have lots of room for additional people who would like to learn operations or simply wish to observe.

On Sunday there have been some layout changes.

In NH our northern most layouts John & Pemi McRae in - Moultonborough,NH: and Joe & Donna Santoro - in Wolfeboro, NH will only be open in the afternoon from 1PM till 5PM. This is to allow more time to visit some southern layouts and still have time to make it up north.

For folks in southern MA we have added a new layout Bob Farrenkoph - German Narrow Gauge Steam Railway – in Weymouth, MA. Bob will be open Sunday both morning and afternoon.

And for Large Scale Central Fans, Bob McCown’s layout will all it’s new enhancements will also be open Sunday.

Updates will continue to be posted on the NELS2012 web site.

As always if you have questions please email at [email protected]

Thanks
