Our club is planning on being at the food truck corral in Glens Falls, New York tomorrow from 4 to 8. We are hoping the weather holds off and we can display our traveling N Scale layout. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
 Club members who wish to help set up should be there about 2:30.

There will be a business meeting this Wednesday, September 2. Agenda to follow. It will be sent by email. The food truck corral has asked us to try and do a set up this this Thursday, September 3. We will try to get it done with the N scale layout. Unfortunately, the weather does not look good.

The Upstate Model Railroaders are canceling today’s visit to the food truck around at the Shirt Factory in Glen Falls, New York. We don’t have enough people to run the show. Hopefully we will do it next week instead. Sorry folks.
