Quinn So I left the tower…… on October 15th to start a week vacation. YORK. Yes, this was my very first time to the Eastern Division’s York train show. Renee and I started our York experience at the National Toy Train Museum & TCA HQ in Strasburg on Wednesday the 19th. The museum looked great with all updated displays and new lighting. The new Lego display was very cool. Bob Lubonski and the museum committee did nice work. The entrance hall was set up for the presentations that were scheduled for the day. Some of the presenters included Lionel, Bachmann, MTH and the Fort Pitt Division. George Starz & Chris Di Cianna gave a very informative presentation about the convention in Pittsburgh. Check out the convention website and “Get your caboose to Pittsburgh”. I highly recommend a trip to the museum. (Which gives me an idea for a possible future trip Hhhmmm.) The national office also had a tent set up with extra inventory for sale to TCA members. By 9:30AM there was a line to get at goodies. The sale went very well. Whatever was left over went to York. A great job was done by Tammy, Amy, Melody, Carol, Tim and all of the staff & volunteers to make the open house a success. METCA President Kevin Quinn with TCA Member services coordinator Amy Fry The York experience was great for us. We met many friends there and made new ones. I made one great purchase which you will read about later. As great as it was for us I must pass along some sad news. METCA member George Wybenga suffered a heart attack at the show and passed away at the hospital in York PA. Our thoughts, prayers & condolences go out to his wife Betty and his family. He will be missed by all. 3 While at the TCA’s executive board meeting on Wednesday night I made a proposal to the board regarding the endowment fund. This fund is designed to lock in the TCA’s financial future. My proposal was that each of the other 19 divisions contributes $1000 and national contributes $25,000. Once the $44,000 dollars is collected METCA will contribute $25,000 to the fund. It’s a challenge that has been done in the past for other projects. This challenge is for TCA’s financial future. On October 29th, 2016 METCA ran its first joint train show with the New York Society of Engineers with much success. A lot of logistics went into this being it was a first time for both clubs to co-host a show. There were 90+ tables filled with trains. The people who attended were buying because boxes and bags of trains were going out the door as long as you priced them right. Many thanks to Andy Brusgard & Bob Lavezzi from NYSME for their hard work in help putting this together. From the METCA side, thanks go out to Bob Amling, Rem Hunnewell, Stu Rankin, Doug & Lois Schembs, Jeff Corrick, & Sam Deo for putting in a lot of time to make this show successful. We plan on having another joint show with NYSME in 2017. We are always looking for members to get involved and have fun in the process while putting together a successful show. To our members on the NY side of the river, METCA wants to run another show on that side but needs volunteers to run it. If interested, please contact me. Now that train show season is upon us see you at the shows. It’s that time of year again. METCA Division dues are due. How do you know whether you owe dues? Look at your address label or your membership card. If it indicates paid through 2016, you owe dues. Please remit $5 per year or $25 for six years in advance in a check made payable to METCA. Mail checks to Robert Amling, METCA Secretary 5 East Warwick Ct, Farmingdale, NJ 07727 on or before 12/31/2016. Please insure that all your personal information including phone numbers and email address are correct as that will help us create the METCA roster and membership cards. Paper Waybills are a separate subscription; they cost $10 per year or $50 for six years. Emailed Waybills are free. 4 The METCA show returns to NJ! After a long hiatus, METCA in conjunction with The New York Society of Model Engineers (NYSME) had our first ever North Jersey Train show in East Rutherford NJ. The show took place on October 29 2016 and we had a great turnout. With over 90 tables sold and in excess of 150 people through the door, we had a great turnout. To top it all off, the NYSME had their layouts running so after you hit the show, you could walk down the street and see some fantastic model railroads in action! We’ll be doing an article in the next Waybill about the O gauge layout at the NYSME. Now what’s an article on a show without pictures! 5 As you can see, the isles were filled! 6 Need a light? How about a trolley? 7 Even a couple of unique Lionel pieces could be found, like this Lionel Naval Compass from WWII! Or this ultra-rare Lionel 5C test set (the e-Waybill has a nice write up on this) 8 There was a little something for everyone, ranging from HO… Vintage catalogs… 9 And plenty of parts to keep your railroad running. And this show wasn’t just a scale model meet, here are some great vintage windups! 10 And what’s a METCA show without the board. From L to R Jeffery Corrick, Rem Hunnewell, Robert Amling, Sam Deo, Doug Schembs, Kevin Quinn and Stuart Rankin A special thanks to METCA and the NYSME, great show! 11 LONG ISLAND SOUNDS Larry Laskowski Toy trains and the Christmas Season…….
