| Pre-1985 |
|
| The first module built by the CJSS was a 16 ft switching layout owned by Mike Ferraro that is still in use as of September 2006. From that module, the S-MOD system was developed through the creation of the S-MOD standards committee which included S Club representatives from all over the U.S. | |
| 1985 |
|
| The 16 ft CJSS module was shown at
several RailExpo shows at the Central Jersey
Railroad Terminal at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. I
first met the club in 1985 at one of those shows... and that began my
module mania. The first issue of Stack Talk, the club newsletter
was published in December 1985. |
|
| 1986 |
|
| The club set up a display layout at the
Rail Expo IV Trainshow at the CNJ terminal at Liberty State park in May. Several CJSS modules were taken to the 1986 NASG Convention sponsored by the Southeastern Michigan S Gaugers in July. I do not have a diagram of that large layout. |

| Another large layout was coordinated by
Don Thompson at the joint NMRA/NASG Convention at Valley Forge, PA |
|
| 1994-2007 |
|
| Since 1994, the CJSS Get-Together meets
changed to a joint S-MOD
Layout / S Dealer gathering. Due to space limitations, no large layouts
have been created. |

Anyone interested in a big
layout at the NMRA convention in Hartford Connecticut? http://www.hn2009.org/home.html |
