    JANUARY - FEBRUARY, 1978 Volume XXVII; Number 1 GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 JAN/FEB, 1978 Page 2 MEMBERSHIP NOTES Welcome to 1978! A brand new year, a brand new slate, and a brand new outlook. It is going to be difficult to keep up with the pace set in 1977, but the continued success of the Institute demands that we not just meet, but surpass last year. At the close of the year our member­ ship had grown to approaching 1,50C. pretty good for an organization that had 97 members in 1959...but this year we’ll shoot for 1,600. It’ll take a lot of work, and you’ll have to help, but you always have, so we should make it. Telescope production last year produced a total of 244 pages, and in addition to that we produced the FITZGERALD book with 60 pages. For the uninitiated, this means your Editor typed, then Varityped 608 pages. This much production takes a lot of time, but we are going to do something about it, and we’ll have an announcement to make perhaps as early as the next issue. Not only will what we have planned result in far less work to getting Telescope out, but it will produce a far better product. Yes, 1977 was a good year...but 1978 looks better. MEETING NOTICES Regular membership meetings are scheduled for January 27, March 31, and May 19 (early to avoid Memorial Day weekend). All meetings will be at the Dossin Museum at 8:00 PM.

    ~~,. ~l1n:~;~'i..~i1W;!!l""'" 15-:' ~ospitality 1 ~IS 0 OSPITALITY finds its true meaning in Syracuse. For many years Syracuse has been world famous for III) the manner in which it has entertained its guests. In Syracuse a guest immediately feels that its people are taking him into their hearts to make sure that his stay is both pleasant and profitable. Syracuse has had much experience in handling large crowds. For many years it has been the home of the great New York State Fair, one of the .greatest expositions of its kind in America. Such conventions as the World's Dairy Congress, the American Foundrymen's Association, State Democratic, the Elks, Knights of Columbus, ete., have proven Syracuse's ability to care for meetings of major im- portance. For smaller meetings, the fact that many organizations return to Syracuse year after year, without solicitation, is the best evidence of the wonderful treatment which has been accorded them by Syracuse business men and hotels. Syracuse has a regularly organized Convention Bureau as a division of the Chamber of Commerce, which is avail- able at all times to assist convention organizations in f" making arrangements and to see that their needs are promptly supplied. Any data on Syracuse's convention facilities can be readily obtained by writing to this organization. Bon'Vention. ~otels HE hotels of Syracuse are particularly well equipped and qualified to handle conventions. They have been hosts to conventions for many years and experience has shown them the way to care properly for any type of convention meeting.

    volume one, number two a supplement to walthers ho, n&z and big trains reference books CLASSICS Model Power Acquires Mantua Model Power is pleased to announce its acquisition of Mantua Industries. A respected manufacturer of locomotives and rolling stock for model railroaders since 1926, Mantua is headquartered in Woodbury, New Jersey. Together these manufacturers have a total of over 110 years of experience and service to the model railroad industry. Model Power has purchased all HO tooling, molds, parts and dies from Mantua Industries and retains rights to the name “Mantua.” Model Power will also be forming a new division called Mantua Classics whose initial production plans for 2003 include the following locomotives: Pacific, Berkshire, 2-6-6-2, 2-6-6-0, Camelback and 0-6-0 Tank. The overall goal will be to produce quality products, fine-tune performance, enhance detail and dramatically cut the prices of steam locomotives. For modelers concerned about what this acquisition means in terms of products and customer service, here are steps now being taken by Model Power: 1. Most parts are or will be in stock 2. Metal boiler locomotives will be made with extra details not previously included 3. Steam locomotives will be DCC compatible with an 8-prong receiver 4. Tenders will be made with electrical pickup 5. Drive trains for F7s will be flywheel driven and carry the high-tech F7 metal body used in Model Power’s MetalTrain™ Model Power is proud to offer its customers more—more details, more quality and performance, more choices— with Mantua Classics.

  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.
