On Saturday 25 & Sunday 26 January 2025, NELUG, in collaboration with GNELTC (Greater New England LEGO Train Club), will again display one of its amazing Lego train/city layouts at the Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show at The Big E Fairground in Springfield, MA. Details about the show can be found on the Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show website, including show times, admission and parking info.

The Railroad Hobby Show is the largest railroad-themed trade show in America. The event occupies 350,000 square feet in four buildings on the Eastern States Exposition fairgrounds.

This is NELUG's biggest model train show and the latest novel layout designed by our members is a whopping 80 feet X 30 feet; about 15 - 20 members will be contributing in some capacity or other!  It'll have multiple tracks, working trains (different trains will run at different times), and detailed town / countryside areas with much landscaping in view. Look out for almost a dozen real-life buildings, many from the Western MA area including Union Station in Springfield MA, the UMass Library Tower and icons such as Nick's Nest hotdog joint.  We will, as always, be at the rear of the Mallory Complex, in the second half of the building along the main corridor at location 164.

The show attracts over 20,000 people over the weekend, and is always a great hit.  See you at this great show!

Come join us at the Worcester Art Museum's annual Hanukkah at WAM! We're hosting a mosaic build for visitors that is sure to bring a little joy all and a lasting image for the museum to display until January. And it's free all day!

It is on Sunday, December 8th. The event will run from 11:00am to 3:00pm. We hope to see you there!
