Jacquie & Randy Banks Open House

On June 17 & 18, Jacquie & Randy had an open house for several groups… we had over 150 attendees, and approximatly 15 ILSR members. Enjoyed everyones compliments and other than a small hiccup with some derailments (all part of the experience) the day was a “smashing” success. No trains were injured during the outing!!! only the operator. Minor scratches and bruises, nothing fatal…

The circus is on the way

2017 Upland Berry Festival

On June 10 a motley group of Modular railroaders did a one day show in Upland, In. We had over 300 people view the downsized layout during the day. The visitors were of all ages and included model railroaders up to retired railroaders. Our very own member Geoff Schwartz provided new shirts for the group (available on request for $10 each).  See pictures below of the days activities:

SCHULTZ Hobby Road Trip

James and Phil have arranged a Club Road trip to visit Chris Schultz’s store on Sat., March 25. We plan on “car-pooling” over to Kettering that morning. For those wishing to take part in this trip – (1) We are all starting off from the Bob Evans Restaurant at 10:00 A.M. located at I-70 and S.R. 9 (this is the Greenfield exit) (travel time over is under 2 hours) (2) We will stop at a nearby fast food restaurant close by to the Hobby Shop for lunch and a restroom break. (3) We will tour the Hobby Shop and enjoy the 3 operating train layouts. There will be ample time to look and make any purchases you would like. Anyone having anything on your own railroads that needs any repair work, you can talk to Chris about getting your work taken care of. (4) There is “no set time” on our return to Indy, but it is estimated we should be back at the Bob Evans restaurant where we all started in the area of 4:00 P.M.
