Meeting - May 28th, 2008
The membership of the NYSME is reminded that the
Society's annual meeting will be held on May 28th at
8 pm. Committee chairs will present their annual
reports for the past year. Reports will be followed
by the election of officers, supervisors, and board
members. Only life members and full members who have
paid their dues in full will be permitted to vote in
the election. Members seeking office should seek out
the election committee members or be present at the
meeting to be nominated from the floor. See you
then!
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.
