It may not look like it right now, but Spring is on the way and that means it is time for the Spring Greenberg Toy and Train Show. As always, NELUG will have a layout there. The show is March 21 and 22 at the Shriner's Auditorium in Wilmongton, MA. You can find more details on Greenberg's website: <a href="http://www.greenbergshows.com/shows/2015/2015-03-21.html">http://www.greenbergshows.com/shows/2015/2015-03-21.html</a>;

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.

 

On Saturday 24 & Sunday 25 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!

This Saturday, September 13, 2014 NELUG will be displaying a layout built entirely of LEGO bricks at the Glory Days of the Railroad Festival in White River Junction, VT. The layout will celebrate the railroad heritage of New England and showcase a number of LEGO trains modelled after historical examples. These trains will run through a LEGO city designed especially for Glory Days of the Railroad, displaying the skills and creativity of some of our members and includes some recognizable local landmarks. NELUG is pleased and honored to have been asked to exhibit at this event. The Glory Day of the Railroad will be open from 10AM to 4PM. Entrance is FREE (if you wish to ride the train there is a fee for that). Hope to see you there!
