On Saturday, February 28, 2026, the Philadelphia Division will host the Susquehanna Division in a joint meet back at the Upper Southampton Community Center at 913 Willow Street, Southampton, PA 18966. The doors open at 8:30am with the program set to begin at 9:00. Use the link above for the map.
Our own Mark Wallace will give a presentation on the upcoming RPM–Valley Forge meet to be held March 19–22. 2026 at the Desmond Hotel in Malvern, PA. Aside from having served as the clerk of the Philadelphia Division for many years, Mark is a member of the RPM–Valley Forge group and serves as its op sessions coordinator. He will delve into the mission and values of the group, and describe the structure and features of this year’s meet. More information on page 6 and 7 of the February issue of The Dispatcher.
Next up, Alan Mende, superintendent of the Susquehanna Division and former MER contest chair will pre-sent, “Standard Jersey Central Wooden Passenger Stations.” He will speak about what got him interested in these stations and how he went about constructing them. Alan is an experienced modeler in scratch building and kit bashing and has given countless clinics over the years.
Please note that the clinic order is subject to change.
All attendees are encouraged to bring a model to the meet to display and discuss, if you like, during our Show and Tell session.
In addition, the Achievement Program Committee is now judging models at the meets. If you wish to have a model judged, please inform either Earl Paine or Joe Walters in advance of the meet.
As usual we’ll hold our 50/50 raffle, draw for door prizes, and have coffee, donuts, and Philly soft pretzels.
The afternoon features model railroad visitation. Hope you can make it!
