Title: April 25/26, 2020 - Atlantic City N Scale Gathering
Post by: delphiz302 on February 12, 2020, 07:41:45 PM: April 25+26, 2020
The 7th annual N Scale gathering at the Atlantic Co 4H Fairgrounds, Egg Harbor NJ. ADMISSION IS FREE!
N-Scale hobbyists from all over are invited to come on out with their own trains and spend the weekend running trains on the many N-scale layouts that are set up for this event.
Admission is FREE to everyone and we always encourage folks who have their own N-Scale trains to bring them along to run.
There are also a number of dealers selling a variety of new and used N-scale models, plus track, scenery, detail parts, and DCC control items too!

No word when it will be postponed to.

Post by: delphiz302 on March 18, 2020, 11:11:04 AM: To prevent the spread of coronavirus, all in-person Atlantic County 4H activities are suspended until further notice. The Atlantic Co 4H, Atlantic Co 4H Model Railroad Club and NJ Southern Ntrak have agreed to postpone the 2020 N Scale Gathering. The event will NOT take place as planned in April. The organizers are exploring the possibility of a fall date for the event. Stay tuned to the New Jersey Southern facebook page through the spring and summer for more information.

Post by: EL3632 on September 21, 2020, 05:19:32 AM: Atlantic City N Scale Gathering 2020 has officially been cancelled. Due to the owners of the building not allowing in-person meetings to take place until January 1, 2021, we cannot have N Scale Gathering this year. We will keep you updated for N Scale Gathering 2021, which will happen (tentatively) on April 24-25, 2021. Thank you for understanding.
