Lastly, a shout out to the last Modular Layout setup getting a brief mention in the news shown below.

Time to kick off 2021!

2021 is here and it’s time to get the trains out. The spring newsletter has been added to the website and more importantly, the events calendar is posted. The first two major events are in June are bound to be fun. Starting with Strawberries at the Upland Strawberry Festival where the modular layout is set to be set up. Then Randy and Jacquie Banks are hoasting an open house to show off their beautiful garden and layout. You won’t want to miss it!

Speaking of the modular layout, James has scheduled a meeting to prepare in May. All club members are welcome to attend.

The rest of the schedule still has details being ironed out, so be sure to watch the Events page for updates.

HI everyone!

I know everything is a bit discouraging right now, so I hope this update will allow you enjoy some trains and be distracted. The April 2020 Newsletter is now posted on the Newsletter page for members. It is filled with activity updates including a spring banquet cancellation/postponement. But there are other good things to enjoy.

Starting today through April 11, Kalmbach Media is ‘unlocking’ all of their premium web content for those who are not yet subscribed. This includes special content from Trains Magazine, Garden Railways, Model Railroader, and Model Railroader Video Plus to name a few. You can read more here.

Also, through April 6, USA Trains/Charles Ro Supply Company is having a special sale since the East Coast Large Scale Train Show was canceled. Be sure to check out the special sale here.

Lastly, if something would come up and you are in need during this time, please reach out let me or the leadership of the club know. If we can, we will help. God bless, Andrew
