Not quite home yet but I would just like to thank the members of NJLS for another excellent meet. The high line was in great shape and held up to the wear and tear of the Tinkerbell nation. Even the weather behaved. I will post some pictures of the many high line engines that made the trip.
Thanks again!

Re: NJLS Spring Meet
Steve - it certainly was THE place to be last weekend.
Nice to see all of the highline locomotives out, especially those from NJLS that had been in storage for a decade or more.
Looking forward to seeing your pictures,
John.

This is Howard Crotty's old engine. It used to say Ware River on the tender. It was also the Muldowney's first engine.
