Trekonderoga 2017: Touring the Star Trek Set Part IV






Eric, Adam & I return to
the Star Trek Set for
our tour.






This set is licensed with CBS Consumer Products and hosts public tours.





Owner James Cawley,
staff & volunteers have
spent years creating
& expanding this
multi-room set.








Charles Root is our tour guide.

He played Scotty in Star Trek:
New Voyages: Phase II,
produced by James Cawley.





Charles tells us about very detailed construction of the Transporter.  It is a replica of the one in the Original Star Trek TV series.

CBS recognizes Star Trek fan's devotion to recreating Star Trek sets and creating fan film projects. James Cawley received permission from CBS to visit the Studios at Paramount to take high definition photos of Sets 31 and 32 of the original Star Trek TV series.






The Transporter Console is
set up where it is located
on the original set.










Charles tells us that the
in the replica Sickbay
are LED TVs.

century games & a tri-screen
viewer on the table in the

Furniture in this room was moved around for numerous functions including senior staff recreation, a court martial and a wedding.




Spray Bottles were new in
the 1960s.

They were filled with colored
water to be used for medical
 & scientific purposes.





Oh no!  I see Tribbles.  Will this ship be overrun too?





Captain Kirk's Office

Some 1960s items have
been found & purchased
for the set.

Others have been recreated
by crafts people.

This Warning Plaque, in the
 hallway, is a perfect replica
 from the original set.






Unfortunately, no one had photographed the black label on the Warning Plaque.  




The lyrics for Blue Suede Shoes
were put on the label as an
homage to James Cawley, who
is an Elvis Impersonator.






Carl Sheldon, who plays Scotty at
 an older age, poses with attendees
  as we enter Engineering.











now has lighting, making
it a more accurate replica.
