I tend to be a creature of habit. When I decide that I like something it can become a part of me. There are 3 events per year that I have almost never missed in the 20 or so years since I started going to them. My first NASG Convention was in 1988 in the then far away lands of New Brunswick NJ. I have only missed going to 2 of them. My first PRR T&HS Convention (also called the Annual Meeting by some) was in 1990. I have only missed 1 of them since. Finally there is the Central Jersey S Scalers Fall Get Together which is solely responsible for me switching to S Scale in 1988.  My first CJSS Get Together was in 1987. I have never missed one of them. The CJSS Fall Get Together started out as being a 3 day set up to fill the church hall with a modular layout that had a large wye, and switching on multiple branch lines and operating trains. It has evolved into a buying selling and social event mostly where people come to eat sand occasionally run trains, basically on the same loop of modules. There is also a bi-yearly Railroad Prototype Modelers Meeting which I REALLY like. I have been to 2 of them so far. I have taken thousands of photos total for these events since I started attending. Since I got my first digital camera in 2002, it makes posting them here much easier.  I may go back and scan earlier years that were taken with my film cameras at some point. The photos are randomly selected.
