OCTOBER 1992

 

CURRENT EVENTS

Remember meetings every month. Entertainment this month by Paul Carpenito (Jersey
Central West End).

EQUIPMENT

Brickyard - We've had some vandalism reported.

Miniature equipment being moved to new winter storage location.

Stephen McMillan of Ohio, sent us a copy of an Ingersoll-Rand manual for the
locomotive in Montana.

The flanger is painted and will need to be stenciled shortly.

We'd like to paint caboose #18 before it snows.

MISC.

We had an informal meeting with the "Friends Of The New Jersey Railroad
Transportation Museum" on the property. We wanted to show off the upper yard as
a possible site for the state museum. The "Friends" plan to endorse the site and will
go to the United meeting and push for Phillipsburg.

"Reliance" firehouse is ours to use until May 31, 1993. The electric service will be
restored.

Master Plan, for the miniature train has been approved by the town.

We've had a donation of about a dozen pair of safety glasses, this thanks to a friend
of Pete Delikat who works for NJ Transit.

Anyone available to work on Saturday contact Pete Terp at Viking 1-908-454-5111 on
Friday PM. Also Tuesday & Thursday PM. Work parties may be held at the firehouse
during winter months.
