The winter months are when we do most of the maintenence, upgrades and modifications to our exhibits. As such, we're not open as a display during the RV and Boat shows. The public is welcome to drop by on Fridays and chat, but it's unlikely that many trains will be running. However, if you're interested in the nuts, bolts, wire and wood saga of how a large model railroad is built, here's your chance to see the spectacle for yourself and get your questions answered. But be careful- you might get recruited to help! |
