NYSME was originally organized
in 1926 in New York
City. In its early years, the organization moved to
and from various locations throughout Manhattan. In
the early 1940's, the organization moved to the
Lackawanna's Hoboken Terminal. However, during the
mid-1950's the organization moved to its current
location in Carlstadt, NJ.
At our present
location, our organization features two operating
model railroad displays. One railroad, The Union
Connecting, models two rail O-Scale. (1/4" to the foot) The other railroad, The
Union, Hoboken, and Overland, models HO scale. (1/8"
to the foot).
NYSME holds two public exhibitions
of the layouts around Christmas time and in the
early spring. However the club does hold a work
sessions every Wednesday night starting around 7
p.m. Visitors are welcome to come by but there is no
guarantee that any trains will be operating.
