Happy New Year 2016

The members of the Schuylkill and Lehigh Model Railroad Club wish you and yours a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

For the Schuylkill and Lehigh Model Railroad Club the year 2015 was a very successful and enjoyable year. The number of people that passed through Coach 72 to view the unique layout of the Schuylkill and Lehigh Model Railroad Club was at an all-time high. The visitors seemed to have a lot of fun and enjoyed watching the model trains make their designated tour around the layout. I can assure you that the club members running the trains had a great time running trains and chatting it up with the visitors, particularly the kids, that passed through the coach car either before are after their ride on the WK&S Railroad excursion train up to Wanamaker's and back.

We hope you enjoyed your day in Kempton, had a great ride on the WK&S and stopped by the Coach car 72 to check out the Schuylkill and Lehigh Model Railroad layout.

We hope to see you all again soon when the trains start running in May, 2016. Be sure to check out the WK&S schedule on their web site; WK&S Railroad website.

The Schuylkill and Lehigh Model Railroad will also be posting it's schedule in early April, 2016. Check the 2016 schedule at Schuylkill and Lehigh Model Railroad.

See you in the spring!
