Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show at The Big E

 

On Saturday 30 & Sunday 31 January, NELUG 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. 

 

It'll no doubt be cold, but come on inside where it's a little warmer, and see New England's biggest model train show and the latest novel layout designed by our members.  It'll have different levels, working trains (different trains will run at different times), and a detailed town area with much landscaping in view.  We will, as always, be in the Mallary Complex, in the second half of the building along the main corridor.

 

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

 

* FUN FACT: Lego has produced Lego trains since 1966!

From Farm to Table by Train

General
That is the theme this year for the Wenham Museum's annual Train Time exhibit, so we are adding our two cents with a rural train layout. NELUG will be at the Wenham Museum in Wenham, MA this Saturday and, weather permitting, Sunday. Please come by and say Hello.
UPDATE: The museum is planning to close on Sunday, so if you want to see aliens farming giant carrots, Saturday is your only chance.
