serotta1972 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hello Bay Area, Sonoma, Solano and Sacramento County Modelers, We will be having a meet-up at the Bay Area NTrak Club in Crockett. Bring some trains to run or just come and hang out and watch both model and real trains. The depot has a window that looks out to the Union Pacific tracks right behind the building - we are always treated to a couple of Amtrak Capitol trains, The California Zephyr and freight trains. Bob and the other members are very welcoming and have great stories. Also, they don't judge us with the type of trains we run. :) Date: November 4, 2017 Time: 10 am - 12 pm Location: Bay Area NTrak Club - Old SP Depot 900 Loring Ave., Crockett CA http://bayarean-trak.org/home_main.html 2 Link to comment

serotta1972 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 We had 3 JNS Forum members attend - Serotta1972 (Junior), Kiha66 (Sam) and Locidm (Ian) and we were able to run a couple of trains. Ian's 885 was flying around the layout and so nice to be able to run the longer trains especially Sam's container train. 9 Link to comment

serotta1972 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Another nice train running meetup and this time with donuts. Sam brought his Steam Locos and did a photo shoot on the roundhouse. I hope he got some nice pictures because you can't see them in my pictures. My M250 Super Rail Cargo felt right at home. 7 Link to comment

serotta1972 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 A great meet-up with 4 people from the forum attending: Brad (nscalestation), Paul (Railtunes), Sam (Kiha66) and myself (Serotta1972). A great selection of trains between the 4 of us and we took over and used all 3 lines. Paul had some really cool Asian non Japanese trains, Brad had some classic Japanese trains and Sam had the SP Daylight in all its glory. I was able to run my Kiha 40 - I had fun just watching all the other trains and just conversing with everyone. We had lunch after and continued our nice conversations about trains and more trains. I got to run my train on the blue line and it goes through a nice scenic section behind the rock tunnels. 4 2 Link to comment
