Chapter's E8 Locomotive made into Model!
What an honor! Phil Edwards of JR Junction sends along these photos of the new MTH O scale Lackawanna E8s painted as the CNY Chapter's 807 and 808. They are available now at hobby shops.
Library addition a step closer
The old PRR car formerly serving as Chapter library was moved in May away from the Martisco Museum to make room for our new library addition. The new addition will look just like the addition that was torn down in 1949. Currently, the addition is in the planning process and awaiting town approval.
Web site under renovation
Please excuse our "dust!" The site is under renovation which will cause temporary "quirks" like the menu appearing in the middle of some pages. It'll all be fixed shortly. Thanks for your patience.
