Allentown Fair Train Display
The important info is:
DATES: AUGUST 30 - SEPT. 5
HOURS: 3-9PM.
TEARDOWN: 9/6 10AM - ?
We will be located in the farmers market at the lower portion where the show ticket booths are. Next to the RITZ. There is a large rollup door next to us. It is a much larger area so we can have a larger nicer display. That being said,however, we will keep the layout to a simpler design so it will be easier for everyone to control. There will be NO platform or switching tracks. I envision it to be in about a 20'x30' area.
The next thing is the hours. They will be significantly less then previous years. The hours will be from 3-9pm each day. It would be good if we could split up the hours into two 3 hour shifts. 3-6 and 6-9pm. If someone would like to stay longer (or shorter) that would be fine.
This year we will be getting 4 parking spaces on the paved area by the 17th street gate!! That means no parking in the dirt or by the show crowd. I will also try to get some wrist bands. If you need to pay for parking or entrance ,however, the club will reimburse you. It is a short walk from paved parking to the trains (behind the RITZ).
A NOTE OF INTEREST.
The EAST PENN TRACTION club will be displaying their trolley modules. They will have 2 layouts (HO,O) gauge along each wall by the large door. That should make it interesting.
Thanks
Open House
Lynn Ratzell is having an open house: Here is the info:
Saturday August 13, 1 to 5. I'll have light refreshments. At this point the layout has three distinct operations. A short loop with a bypass, a long out and back operation with a tunnel and a long loop, with two bypasses, winding through the garden. It is probably 170 feet in length.
