Sorry I missed your quesiton. Depands on what you mean by Track Power.

Our SJR&P layout has track powered at a fixed 21.5 volts DCC. If you ae looking for constant track power it will work. We can also operate a single DC locomotive using the stretched zero trick.

I believe it also may be possible to put power on at least part of the Amherst layout in Palmer.

If you need fixed voltage to power a RC locomotive then I have a 10 amp supply we can connect to the track.

If you desire variable volts DC then the NHGRS has a supply with a remote for variable DC which we could hook up to the raised layout at Amherst and possibly the ground layout to operate a sinble DC powered locomotive at a time.

Let us know what you need and I will try my best to provide it.

PS The NELSTS last your was a failure if your measure of sucess is funds earned through the gate. It was a very large success if you measure it on the sales made and the joy the atendees had. Hopefully by going back to the smaller building the show can come back. We shall see.

I sent a email and got a reply from John Sacerdote (show director) he said there are 8-10 Garden RRs to tour. How much they are spread out I didn’t ask.
Now to convince the wife to go, and get our son in law to feed the pigs and watch the dogs.

Since Stan ( @Stan_Ames ) is one of them, I imagine they are fairly spread out. I believe Stan is over an hour from the Amherst Railway Society clubhouse. (Stan, please correct me, if I am wrong!)

I don’t know any of the others, but John MAY be including the ride-on railroads, which are listed on the event website.

I hope this helps, Mark!

I just booked an apartment next to the Steaming Caboose, looks fun. The description warned of lots of train traffic (Palmer is said to be the “Town of the Seven Railroads”), so I’ll bring earplugs!

For a larger group, this place seems nearby and a great deal, fwiw:

We are staying at Trainmaster’s Inn. We must get together.

You bet, I’m right across the street from there.
