Modelers Meeting ("Early PRR Welded Box & Automobile Cars: Prototypes and a Few Models")
Ted Culotta will discuss the Pennsy's building of welded house cars in 1936 and continuing into the 1950s; also building several interesting proprietary designs before transitioning to more standard types in the mid-1950s. This presentation highlights these cars as well as how to model many in HO scale.
Feature Presentation ("From the Main Line - Experiencing the Pennsylvania Railroad")
Michael Froio will present a lecture on his ongoing project, From the Main Line, which examines the former Pennsylvania Railroad network and the landscape it traveled.
