For the sake of just putting something on the table, I would suggest a get together one Saturday in October in Spencer, NC at the Spencer Yards which is the site of the NC Transportation Museum. They have lots of trains, a restored turntable and shops, vintage cars and trucks, and the aviation museum is near by.
Of course, some of our folks might prefer a location further south. That would be fine, too. Just checking to see if there is any interest
