We had a fantastic turnout for our show this year. Many thanks to all our visitors for attending our show and sharing our love of trains.
We also give a big thank you to our vendors and layout participants, without whom our show would not happen!
We've begun organizational work on the 2024 show. We hope to see you all March 2nd and 3rd!
