ILSR News

And a good time was had by all…

November 16, 2013 – Excellent year end meeting! Members old and new had a chance to get together and chat, featured speaker Chris Schultz gave us an optimistic insider's view of the G Scale industry and information about his plans for a retail store in Dayton, the snack table had about a gazillion calories worth of outstanding snacks, we finally heard the last from the old, worn out President, we got some previews of plans for the coming year from our bright new President and Vice President in charge of programs and least of all, we got to see a 1:1000 scale train layout running in a G scale gondola car. Thanks to all who attended and helped.

A Further Tribute to the Module Group

November 4, 2013 – With all the great pictures available it only seemed right to again thank the ILSR Module group and show off more of their collective and individual work from the October 12 & 13, 2013 display at the Great Train Expo at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. About 40 more pictures have been added. You can see the overall pictures of the new, improved layout HERE. And, to see the list of those who brought their modules and have a look at what they brought, click on the appropriate name from THIS list.

ILSR November/December 2013 Newsletter is Online

October 31, 2013 – Your Newsletter is in the mail and is also available right HERE on your website. Bud has done another excellent job. Included in the Newsletter is the Ballot for ILSR officers for 2014/2015. Bud also would like to be sure that everyone "will figure it out that with the way that the address is printed, a double fold is the only thing that works. Also, taping the ballot closed on 3 sides would assist in it arriving intact."

And Another New Member

October 23, 2013 – We pleased to say that our recent module display at the Fairgrounds attracted yet another new member to the club. Please welcome Andrew Jones of Kokomo. We hope to get a chance to meet you, Andrew, at our coming events.

Welcome New Members

October 22, 2013 – The Indiana Large Scale Railroaders club has three new member families. Brad and Valenda Loar of Bloomington, Indiana joined us for the Pizza Train trip then came to the Train Show at the Fairgrounds and became members. Also joining at the Fairgrounds Show were Rob and Kathy Kunkle of Peru, Indiana and John C. and Mitsy Niemeyer of Noblesville, Indiana.

Welcome to all three families, we hope to see you at our November 16, 2013 Year End meeting in Noblesville.
