Metro North Division Meet

The cry of “All aboard!” might very well be heard at the Danbury Railway Museum May 3 after the Metro North Division concludes its final Saturday morning meeting of 2007-08. While the meeting is scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and include three clinics, a preview of this fall’s Northeastern Regional Convention, a modeler’s show-and-tell and election of officers, the museum will likely tempt members to stay a bit longer to ride its yard local. The museum is located at 120 White Street in Danbury.

After the meeting, three home layouts (in Bethel and Danbury, Conn., and Poughquag, N.Y.) are expected to be open in the afternoon to welcome meeting attendees. Driving directions to each layout will be available at the meeting. Please plan to arrive early. At our request, the Danbury Railway Museum will open an hour early, at 9 a.m., to give us a chance to view several layouts on display in the museum or visit the gift shop, or do both before our meeting begins. That will also allow us to begin the meeting promptly at 10 a.m. to accommodate the extensive program.
