Title: NJ HO club open house this weekend
Post by: robertjohndavis on October 17, 2007, 09:23:08 AM
Hi,

The club I belong to in Asbury Park, NJ is having its annual open
house the last two weekends of October.

The layout features a section representing the South Bethlehem works
along with other anthracite rr scenes.

If you are in the area, it would be great to meet you!
