Mid Atlantic RPM Meet

September 21-22 is not that far away, and neither is the new location for this event. Much closer to Baltimore and BWI.

https://www.marpm.org/

I've been to the last three held in Fredericksburg, and the event is plenty accepting of N scalers, even if the vast majority of the modeling is done in HO. They would love to see more N scalers come show off our work.

The clinic list looks pretty decent too.

Might want to fix your dates :D

I'm debating on attending this year.  Need to put in for at least Friday off work though if I am going to go down.  Not sure if I'd bring anything though  :?

We encourage everyone that attends to bring a model to exhibit. We will have a promotion for anyone that brings a model. The details will be announced soon.

Routes have been running on time, so I was able to score Friday off, so I plan on attending both days now.

I've managed to clear Friday of work stuff and plan to attend.  I plan to show the N scale flag and bring some recent (if you call the last 4 years recent) things to display.  I'm looking forward to a day of trains.  I think I'll turn off my phone.   :D

@SAH - I don’t have anything to display but I look forward to meeting you.

Here’s a teaser from Lance Mindheim’s open house tonight:

Glad to see some asshats made it this year. My schedule was revamped by Florence, so I spent the weekend in Virginia Beach for a late 50th birthday celebration instead of pursuing feelings of modeling inferiority. :)  Loved the N exhibits. Sorry I missed seeing some of our members in person.

Ha!

Yes

You could say that

I was very happy with the Thursday to Sunday concept ... Op’s Sessions bookending clinics

I gotta get started again in the basement

Ntrak and one trak are dominating my time

Plus assisting in a Club raffle build...

All that being said

This weekend confirmed my love for the hobby

Thanks to those  that attended. The Railwire was well represented.

We are considering options for 2019. Participation is what makes it possible, so please consider attending if you can.
