If you look close at the track, you will see the club has rebuilt all of the original sections of the high line. This was one of the reasons for the Tinkerbell reunion. The NJLS really did a beautiful job and is no doubt very proud of this accomplishment. They have four great tracks to run on.

I would have taken more but the camera was acting up. One picture was so fuzzy it looked like a picture of a couple of buns. Another made a guy look like he was Wolfman Jack. I think the auto focus thing is wearing out.

Great photos, Steve! Thanks so much for posting them. I hope to build a 3.5" gauge loco (someday)!

Best Regards,

Maybe it was a pressed ham samich?

Strange things happen when you forget your camera at a Tinkerbell Meet.

I'll eventually post a link to a Facebook album (anyone can view, even if you don't have a FB account). Unfortunately I don't have the spare time to resize the photos specifically for this board and upload them individually.

Here's a snapshot preview of the other Jim.

I had a great time! Of course, it was like coming home for me. Hard to believe I left New Jersey 30 years ago!

Steve,
One of your pictures shows a European/British green 0-4-0 engine. Any idea who owns it? I would love to contact that person, learn more about it, or have some better pictures.
