On Friday, February 2nd, a club member dropped off another round of donated items to Mercy Hospital St. Louis. We are still going it on our own, as FairyBricks continues to navigate the post-Brexit world of overseas shipping, so all of these 88 sets were procured thanks to some savvy bargain-hunting by club members. Thanks again to all who have donated or participated in our charitable efforts!
All aboard! The GtwLUG will be participating in TRAINFAIR, a model train show put on by the St. Charles Model Railroad Club. As always, our layout will be designed on site and no two displays are ever the same. Our display will be located in the commons area outside of the gym.
Admission is $5 at the door, cash only. Children under 12 are free with an adult admission.
