NYSME was originally organized in 1926 in New York City. In its early years, the Society moved to and from various locations throughout Manhattan. In the early 1940’s, the Society moved to the Lackawanna’s Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, NJ. During the mid-1950’s the Society moved to its current location in Carlstadt, NJ. At our present location, the Society features two operating model railroad displays. One railroad, The Union Connecting, models two rail O-Scale (1/4″ to the foot) while the other railroad, The Union, Hoboken, and Overland, models HO scale (1/8″ to the foot).
