2024 N Scale Convention in Bethlehem PA

Ladies and Gentlemen... I'm excited to share something I just learned about.

I'm going to have an excuse for a week of eating at Vallos, Mama Nina's, Aqui Es, The Joint, and Yoccos in June of 2024.

The National N Scale convention is apparently coming to Bethlum!

This would give me a good excuse to try those Yocco dogs I always hear about in Mike Bednar’s videos.

Ok, so replying to this post actually sent me on a writing spree:

I put that together as a guide for potential convention attendees. Don't worry, it covers Yoccos (and somewhere big Mike likes even more).

Nice travel guide, Ed! I’m penciling the dates in my phone right now, and if I can make I’ll definitely ask myself WWBMD? All weekend long.

Well being my DC vacation I didn't get to see everything the family and I wanted, and the kids want to go back to Hershey, I guess I could add this to my summer vacation

Long trip, About 25 minutes from my front door :D. And at least you spelled it right, Bethlum...


I'd be more than happy to show you all around, and FYI, Potts hot dogs are way better than Yocco`s.  Lots of great eating and drinking establishments that I frequent. 

And of course we have to visit The Steel and walk the Hoover trestle, and thats the weekend of the ATCA National meet. About 900 Antique big rigs take over Macungie Park, which is right by the rail fan station on the Reading Line.

You`ll never find a Philly cheese steak on a menu in Philadelphia. It`s called a cheesesteak and we all know where it`s from...
