Track Cleaning Party
We need to fix the track colors to make setup and teardown easier. To that end we will be having a "TRACK PARTY" at Dick Diehm's house this coming Saturday June 6 @ 10:00am. We will be laying out all the track circles to determine the correct diameters and then paint the correct colors. We will also be cleaning the ends of each track piece. It would therefore be great if you decide to come and help if you have a dremmel tool to bring it. WE will provide the wire brushes.
See members only section for directions.
Kutztown Train Display
The LVGR club has been invited to have a display this Saturday 4/4 at the train station in Kutztown. This is a special Easter event. There will be a train ride from the station until 4:00pm. We will be setting up Bill Gold's module in the station.
Everyone is invited to come and participate.
We will be setting up the module on Friday 4/3 around 12:00pm. The last train ride leaves at 4:00pm so we will teardown immediately after that and it should not take that long.
Thanks and hope to see you there.
