I live outside of Jim Thorpe, PA and have found a few Hobby shops that are within 30 min to an hour and a half from me. I was wondering if anyone else is in the area and has had personal experience at any of these stores. Or if anyone knows of any clubs in the region that could help me!

Jim Thorpe? Penn's Peak is my absolute favorite place in the world to see a concert. They do have a very cool historic train station there too!

Love yonder. Was there last june the day MJ died. was sad, but the best way to celebrate his life was to be at a show. planed on being there this year, however my lady and I decided to go up for Furthur instead. On account that we will see Yonder at Del-Fest a few weeks before that. Anyway if you go to del-fest there is a model railroad club at the allageny fairgrounds, the maryland and west virginia model railroaders. They have a huge club layout that features HO, O, and a nice G scale layout on their back porch. Also a great place to see a show!

where and when is del-fest?

Del-Fest is memorial day weekend at the allageny fair grounds in cumberland maryland. check out delfest.com great lineup this year. noteables, Del McCurry band, Yonder, Railroad Earth, David Grisman bluegrass experiance, Cornmeal, Keller Williams and friends, Larry Keel and Natural Bridge, Trampled By Turtles, Steep Canyon Rangers, Darol Anger, Mountain Heart, lots of others as well. Thursday till sunday plus late nite sets on friday saturday and sunday. not to mention there is a CSX/Norfolk Western mainline that goes right along side the camping area... its the best festival weekend I have ever been to. well worth the trip from your neck of the woods. If you do decide to make it down send me a message and we will meet up. Maybe one morning we could travel over to the peach creek car shops and check out some old western maryland rr haunts...
