50th Anniversary BBQ
In commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Abington Model Railroad Club in 1964, we held an Anniversary BBQ in the club's back yard on Saturday, September 27, 2014.
Trolley Automatic Train Control
The team of members Mike Junod and Kevin Healy have been working to install an Automated Train Control system (ATC) for the Club's Trolley Line. The ATC relay panel for the Abington section of the Trolley System is now installed at the club. The system has been designed by Mike but the fabrication, debugging, and dressing of the wires was performed completely by Kevin. As seen in the photo below of Kevin and the ATC installation on July 27, 2014, the board looks great and is a fine example of Kevin\rquote s craftsmanship. The installation will continue for the next month or two along with checkout of the ATC functions. When completed the loop from Abington to Monroe will be completely covered by Automatic Train Control. Only the Duffield relay panel needs to be completed along with some trackwork replacement to complete the ATC for the entire trolley system. The Duffield relay panel will be mounted directly below the Abington relay panel. The Abington relay panel was a complex project due to the bi-directional single track segment next to the carbarn and the large number of routing options.

The winners of the 2013-2014 Train Set Raffles are Lenny Hickman for the "O" Scale Train Set and Jen for the "HO" scale train set. Photos of the happy winners are below. The train sets were donated by Joe's Train Station in Feasterville. The club wishes to thank Doug Wolf of Joe's Train Station for his donation and support.
