The last meeting of the program year will be held on Sunday, 18 May (3rd Sunday), at Quincy Village Presbyterian Senior Living. The May meeting is always pushed out a week to avoid a conflict with Mother’s Day.
The host of the May meeting will be your new Superintendent, Dan Mulhearn. As usual the meeting will start at 2 PM. On the other hand, the venue will be somewhat unusual.
Dan is a resident of the Quincy Village. The Village has an extensive model railroad complex. Dan says that that is the reason he decided to move there and he has arranged for us to visit the complex this month.
Dan has provided the following description of the complex.
We have four layout rooms.
- Room one is a large fully sceniced HO layout.
- Room two is a large Lionel layout.
- Room three has N gauge, HO and a German village.
- Room four is an HO layout with a helix to elevate the trains up, over the aisle and down the other side.
The address to use to reach the Village is 6596 Orphanage Rd. Waynesboro, PA. That is the main office location of Quincy Village and the Winter Building is on the opposite side of the campus. You approach Orphanage Rd. off PA Route 997 coming north out of Waynesboro or US30 near Chambersburg coming from the north. Once on Orphanage Road you will pass the Quincy post office and the Wesley House apartments, both on your right. Turn right onto Otterbein Rd (the first road after coming off PA997). Make the first right and park in front of the Winter Building. There is a railroad crossing sign and an outdoor layout in front of the building.
