Welcome to the 2018 Polar Express

Running trains

Enjoy the Christmas season and keep on chugging along in the New Year!!!


Davis Open House

On Sat October 13, Don and Norma Davis opened their backyard to many ILSR members.  The weather was bright and sunny but cool (50’s). The cookies and hot apple cider punch was just the ticket to enjoy the afternoon.  Early in the day, the local town went to the dog, but all survived .

The circus was enjoyed by all 

Castleton Christian Church Modular show

On Saturday Sept 22 the modular group put on a spectacular display that was enjoyed by over 300 people! However, I only have 1 picture available at this time… so enjoy the COOP  that Spencer, Jeff and Dave Wheelock finally mastered the construction.

Geoff & Carolyn Open House

If you missed the opportunity to visit with the Schwartz’s, Geoff has upped the game for all of us…. He has outdone his past endeavors and makes your webmaster want to bulldoze and start over. Enjoy the views…

Geoff the proud builder  

June/July Newsletter

The new June/July newsletter is available in the Members Only section…there is lots of information of more activities for the rest of the summer. Thanks Bud for the updates.

Beth & Bill Poor Open House

If you didn’t come to the Poor’s Open House today, you missed a rare treat…

The Franklin Street Garden Railway  …” the chipmunk line” was started in 1994.  Bill has made many upgrades over the years and has created a spectacular visual with all the appropriate toys to make everyone present drool!!! The landscaping and treats were superb and everyone enjoyed the wonderful weather … Thanks to the Poor’s for a memorable  afternoon.

2018 Upland Berry Festival

Another successful display in Upland on June 9…. hopefully pictures to follow.

James says: thanks to all who helped set up and tear down.

As a side note:

This group needs more support in the future with new members to replace those that have “retired” . So please consider joining and contributing to the modular group functions.

2018 SPRING BANQUET

22 Hardy souls trekked  to Monon Connection for a delightful meal, tour of the museum and some great catching up after a VERY LONG winter.  Our new President John Buckner & VP Spencer Spurlock got everyones attention as they explained what the summer looks like and it appears to be all good. So, stay tuned and keep attending all this years activities.
