NER - NMRA Convention 2024

Otto Vondrak suggested Don and I check out a location that is accessible near the east end of the CSX yard where the local power and the caboose-riding platform are normally located in the evening. Here is a couple of shots at sunset.

Don and I attended this years NER convention. I have a lot of family events happening at the moment so this is a quick post of a few things we saw and taken with my phone...more to come once I load my camera photos...George Dutka

The yard tower today is only used by the signal department I was told. This is at the end of Goodman St. at East Main, Rochester, NY. One can get really close here without trespassing.

Jordan Derleth had a "sit and talk" about his modern day freight car weathering. He is part of a local railroad club. Don and I spent a bit of time between clinics talking to Jordan about how he does his weathering.

Coffee bean acrylic paint was one tone suggested to us.

One of Jordan's models.

One could also learn about decoder buddy at one of the tables.
