It was a good show even though Pan Am did its best to avoid us. Maybe we will meet next time....DonGeorge Dutkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069010862738504801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622047938401309680.post-65101618741177180952018-06-05T21:15:19.921-04:002018-06-05T21:15:19.921-04:00I too attended NERPM.

I planned to follow it to the East Portal of the tunnel and North Adams. When I went by Greenfield a westbound auto rack train (287?) with NS power was ahead of it. I saw it in Charlton and then paced it up the road to Zoar and the East Portal. Well, they decided to tie it down on the passing siding just east of the Deerfield River bridge and call a taxi for the crew. I had just missed the eastbound out of the tunnel around 16:15 which also was stopped at the East Portal for a meet. It took off east and I expected it to meet EDRJ at Shelbourne Falls. I never saw either it or EDRJ again so headed to the hotel. Pan Am truly is unpredictable.<br /><br />This was my second NERPM and I enjoyed it immensely. Great presentations and models, and met lots of interesting people to chat with. Skipped the Saturday evening presentations and had a very enjoyable dinner with Pierre, Ryan and Hunter. I also met modellers from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Of all the Canadians I had the shortest drive.<br /><br />Sunday I went to Neil Schofield's. His CP Vermont Newport and Lyndonville Sub. railway is a masterpiece. I can't wait to see his Blue Seal Feeds in Richford. If it is anything like his model of the Ethan Allen plant in Orleans it will be superb.<br /><br />I found some cars and details I was looking for. All in all a great weekend. I certainly plan on attending next year and highly recommend it.<br /><br />Ian Stronach<br />Montreal, QCIan Stronachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913493093480885711noreply@blogger.com
