Garden Railroading in Indiana.
March 30, 2013 – My apologies to our hard working Newsletter editor, Bud Hunter, for my error in completely skipping over the online version of the March/April 2013 Newsletter that he sent to me on March 1, 2013. I trust you all got it in the mail okay but for those who like the all-color version, it is finally here. Once again Bud has done an excellent job keeping us informed and entertained. Thanks, Bud!

February 13, 2013 – Last night Bud Hunter told me about the passing of member Steve Sever. Today Bud sent me the article that will appear on the March/April, 2013 issue of the ILSR Newsletter.
"Steve Sever of Waldron, Indiana passed away November 28, 2012 at the age of 72. Steve and his wife Sharon have been ILSR Club Members since 2006 and have hosted two Open Houses for our Club. Steve previously had both Lionel and HO Trains, but when he and Sharon attended the Ameriflora Show in Columbus, Ohio in 1994, Steve saw a his first Garden Railroad and told Sharon “That’s something I’d like to do”. He made his dream come true."
You can see the incredible German-themed railroad that Steve and Sharon built HERE. Our deepest sympathy to Sharon and the Sever family.

November 19, 2012 – We are pleased to welcome new ILSR members from Carmel, Indiana – John and Diane Sievers. They heard about us at Watts; they must have been shopping there, they are planning a layout. Glad to have you aboard, folks, and hope you will join us at our future events. The ILSR modular train display at the fairgrounds on January 5, 6, 2013 would be a good place to start. We will look forward to seeing you there!
