Model railroading is nothing if not a group effort! Our newest club member, Matthew de Jongh, has been diligently working on a t-trak module that can be brought along and set up at train shows as well as continuing the construction of his home layout. Club members John Fleming and Brian King recently visited Matthew to assist him in his endeavors. Together they were able to build some of the framework for Matthew’s future empire and have a good time while getting this work accomplished.

The local Utica Boy Scouts troop held a Cabin Fever community event with vendors and entertainment to provide families a fun escape from being cooped up in the house all winter. Funtrak was delighted to be asked to participate. Kids and families really love trains and we enjoy sharing our passion with others. Win-win!

One of our favorite locations to run trains, we always have a good turn out at the Family Fun Center in Mohawk.

FUNTRAK was happy to return to Union Station again this year. There were large appreciative crowds as usual with many small smiling faces evident throughout the day. FUNTRAK anticipates continuing this fine tradition in the future.

FUNTRAK was delighted to run trains for the public the week after Christmas at their annual Holiday Train Show at the Oneida County Historical Society. Mark your calendars: this is an annual holiday favorite event!

Greg has found a new friend at the annual Rochester Institute of Technology Tiger Tracks Train show. The college mascot was out and about meeting the public and entertaining all the children. FUNTRAK was happy to join in on all the “FUN” with the school’s fine representative and enjoyed joining up with the Genesee ‘N Ontario Model Railroad club to display their exciting layouts at the show. This annual event has become one of FUNTRAK’s favorites and we are looking forward to next year.

FUNTRAK was delighted to participate in the 40th Annual Great New York State Model Train Fair.

The annual Syracuse Train Fair saw the introduction of John Fleming’s new HO t-trak module where there is an obvious construction discrepancy. This module is a part of an ever expanding HO module collection that FUNTRAK is promoting with the guidance of club member Greg Brockwayleading the way. Greg has been the driving force behind the HO expansion in the club with other members lending support as much as possible. FUNTRAK is well represented at many shows now with multiple layouts in multiple scales. More pictures from Syracuse and Fulton to come. Come to the shows and join in on the fun!
