The 2020 Reunion Cancelled, due to Coronovirus. Show Chairman Rick Abramson announced in June on “The Forum” that this year’s “Reunion” has been cancelled. I am finding that many of you either don’t know about the “Forum” or never go there. So, here’s the announcement again, in a difference place!
Hopefully, see you all next year at the September 11, 2021 Reunion!
Our New Haven Calendar for 2021 is now available! Be the first on your block to get the best RR calendar on the market; the first 2021 RR calendar on the market! Along with the cover, there are 18 beautiful color pictures in this 12” X 18” production. Pre-drilled with center hole for hanging.
Price is same as last year and I encourage you to order on-line at our “Store”. It is safer, saves you and me time and saves you money, since you don’t have to fill out a form, send a check, and pay postage. In this day and age, I hate going to the post office and the bank, so keep me home and order your calendar the 21st Century way! Thanks for your support!
The County Car reservation deadline was put on hold, due to number of reservations to date. Now is the time to reserve these cars or add to the reservation, if you’ve already reserved. Let’s show Rapido that we REALLY want these unique passenger cars, so they will move us up in the production line! Spread the word…tell your New Haven friends.
Here’s the Reservation Form
HO-scale 41-BNO-11 “Outside Swinghanger” Trucks are now available from our Store. These trucks, used on all the Stainless cars with 4-wheel trucks, are a perfect replacement for the trucks used on the first-run of the Stainless Coaches by Rapido. The replacements include pre-soldered wires on each truck, allowing all-wheel pickup for passenger car lighting. As this is a new product for our Store, they will be on sale for a limited time. Now’s a good time to do that project you were putting off!
Thanks to the NHRHTA design team, Rapido has added another County Car to the selection. It is in the as-delivered green window band scheme. #207 “New London County” is added because it had a phone booth next to the Baggage section. Still has the baggage door and there is an antenna included in the poly bag. If you’ve already reserved your cars, and would like to add this car or replace a car you have reserved with this one, please email me:

RENEWALS continue to flow in but just a reminder that we would like them all by March 31st. This saves us having to do time-consuming follow-ups.
WITH THE VOLUME 41 RENEWAL, we added the Credit Card option for paying for New Membership and Renewals; an option appreciated by many members, who now don’t have to write checks. (Many folks ended up stacking the renewal with their other bills, when they had to write a check, and forgot about it.)
THIS YEAR, with our new Website, we now offer ON-LINE renewals to VOLUME 42! Have we finally gotten into the 21st Century, or what? It’s so easy to do:
1. Go to our Website: www.nhrhta.org (hope you have it saved as a “favorite”)
2. Click on “Membership” in the black banner across the top of the Home Page.
3. On that page (“Membership Application”), scroll down to the words in orange “Click here to join today!”, which is under the words “Join the NHRHTA”. Click that orange wording.
4. Now you just follow the questions, starting with “Select an Option”, where you choose your status and pay with your favorite Credit Card.
Isn’t that a “piece of cake”? Now you don’t have to complete a form in writing or use a stamp to mail anything in…the online renewal comes straight to us! And it doesn’t cost you a cent more for this convenience.
We thank you for making our job a little easier!
