50 years ago I attended Camp Sertoma through the Binghamton Boys’ Club.

Report:

Basically as far as trains go, It was a bust. Very little trains there, mostly used “junk” or old “new stock” in boxes. and about 8 tables or booths for the trains. There were 3 layouts of Lionel and O guage trains running.

The rest was antiques- one row of furniture and the rest was all jewelry and glass stuff.

They recently added the trains, so maybe it will grow as word gets out???

Sad to say. But was a good time looking at stuff, I guess.
