Huge Dayton Train Show – Nov 1&2

by

September 25, 2014 – NOTE – James has a Dayton Show organization meeting planned for the Module Group and other interested folks. Check HERE for the update.

September 20, 2014 – James has sent more information about the 39th Annual Dayton, Ohio Train Show. Click HERE to see a very detailed letter about the Show. I could tell that James is ultra-excited about the show when he closed his letter with this: “If any of our members miss this Show, they might as well put their trains back in the box, put the box in the closet, lock the door and forget about them.”

So, you definitely will want to put this Show on your calendar to see our ILSR Module Group display and lots of train items in all scales, including ‘G’.

Great job guys. I want to send out a great big thank you to all who helped make this show a fantastic weekend. We had large groups of people all day long around our display both days. I had a number of people compliment us on our layout. I kept in communications with Bill Grove from GTE during both days and he was very happy that we made the effort to make that show. He also got great feedback from people excited about our layout. For those of you who were not able to do this show, you missed a lot of fun. I understand obligations get in the way. Hope to see you next time. For those of us that stayed over, we were able to spend some quality time going out to dinner in the evenings have some fun and talk about things we don’t normally have time to do. We also have a new member that signed up at the show.

Hi Everyone,
    Today, December 20th 2013, we sadly closed our doors. We would like to take this time to thank every one for their 75+ plus years of support. Aristo-Craft will live on through you.

We will continue with the Crest line to keep the Revolution going strong.

     Our Nephew Scott will continue to keep the Polk name going with his new business Polk's GeneratioNeXt LLC. Keep an eye for more information from him.

Thank You,
Lewis and Maryann

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.
