In the spring of odd numbered years, the East Penn Traction Club sponsors the largest trolley-only model meet in the country. The next meet will be in May 2025 and will be held at Allentown Fairgrounds.

The meet draws the premier modelers and manufacturers from all over the country for a weekend of viewing models, layouts, films, photos, slides, model contests, and how-to clinics on subjects ranging from hanging trolley wire to modeling subway cars. The theme for the meet will be Cars of the St. Louis Car Company. There will be a judged model contest and Popular Model contests. In addition, the latest in trolley kits, parts, bodies, etc. are offered for sale as is prototype data such as photos and books.
