Good evening to all,

I wanted to remind or inform you that there will be a Free-Mo layout at the
train show in Syracuse NY on Nov 7-8, 2009. Modules are coming from Ohio, NY (of
course),& Massachusetts. If you're interested in more information, please reply
and I'll get you some more specific data.

Respectfully from Akron,

Tim Moran

YEAH!

I'm all in, unles I have to work.

I need ideas on module construction for the 5-unit Fairmont Belt Line.

Weekends are probably better than other times.

Good evening all,

I'd like to have a get together for those living in the Northeast Ohio area.
Just a
brainstorming kinda thing to kick around some Free-Mo ideas.

Does anyone have an objection to Streetsboro for a location? Trying to pick a
location that's
"close" to Summit, Portage, Geauga, and Cuyahoga counties.

Would sometime after work (and dinner) be better than trying to shoehorn some
weekend time into
your current plans?


Looking forward to your responses!

Hi Group,

I'm all for this - My availability excludes Monday and Tuesday evenings due to
Civic committments. Other than that, I'm flexible, like Gumby. See you all soon!

May I suggest Eat-N-Park in Streetsboro. It offers easy access to multiple major
roads and is pretty well centered between Akron, Cleveland and Youngstown.
Someone pick a day and time.

Folks,

Microscale has just released decals for the modern W&LE diesels and freight
cars.

Here's the link for the diesel set:
<http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=87-13\
18&Category_Code=WLE&Product_Count=4>

and the freight car set:
<http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=87-12\
97&Category_Code=WLE&Product_Count=2>

Microscale is offering these in both HO and N scale.

Regards from Akron,
Tim Moran

Begin quote from Dennis Snyder:
"John Beach, retired freight agent,will be leading our tour of the W&LE/N.K.P.
Canton Ohio sites on Saturday, June 13th at 10AM. We will start at the old yard
office area at Fourth St. and Madison Ave. in Canton, OH.

To get there via I-77, go east on US 30 and exit at Cherry Ave. Go north on
Cherry to Eleventh St. SE. Turn right on Eleventh, then go to Madison Ave
(Second traffic light). Turn right onto Madison Ave. and go to the traffic light
at Fourth St. Park somewhere near the abandoned brown concrete building (old
yard office) and look for the smiling faces.

If you're coming in from the east, the westbound traffic lane will exit onto
Eleventh St. SE. Turn right and go to Madison Ave. At the traffic light, turn
left onto Madison Ave. then go to the traffic light at Fourth St.
Dennis Snyder"

Here's a link to the location if you like maps better:

Hope to see some of you folks in Canton!!

a lot of switching as well as mainline run. The other vendors were numerous.

Eric,

I'd say that the group had fun and is looking forward to the next event.
We, as a group, put a large Free-Mo layout "in front" of more than
20,000 people over the 2 day event time and ran trains, too!
What more could you ask for? <Big Grin>

Looking forward to seeing you in person after the "big move"! Hope it
all goes smoothly!!

Any comments?

Next week is the big move. I can hardly wait.
