About the Picnic
This event will be held on a normal operating day of both the New York Museum of Transportation and The Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. NMRA Members and their guests will each pay the normal $7 admission to the museum. This one fee covers the admission to both museums, trolley and track car rides.
- Museum hours are from 11AM to 5PM.
- Park and enter at the New York Museum of Transportation. After you enter the museum, please go to the “Spaghetti Warehouse Trolley” to register with the LSD at a table near the trolley. We will have a “donations” jar at the registration to pay the costs we will have for the day. Any extra money will be donated to the museums after our costs have been paid.
- You will need to bring your own meal: meat, side dishes, non-alcoholic beverages, and table service. We will have a charcoal grill(s) set up for your use for the picnic.
- We plan on eating around 12:30PM and will have a short meeting at the end of the meal.
- You can then spend the rest of the day viewing both museums and riding the trolleys and the track cars.
Contests
There will be a “Popular Choice” model contest, and a “Popular Choice” photo contest held at the picnic.
- Sign in your entries at registration.
- Voting will be done during lunch..
- Awards will be given at the end of our meeting.
So bring that “special” project you have been doing or at least get a photo of it to share! You may pick up your entries when you leave for home. Someone will be watching the models at all times during the afternoon.
