Hello everyone my name is George Werderich and I’m a Boy Scout from Yorkville Illinois. I am currently working on achieving the highest honor in Boy Scouting which is the Eagle Scout rank. Part of the rank is that I have to do a community service project, in which I will be building a pavilion-style train station for the 7.5 gauge Prairie State Railroad Club. The project will cost a lot of money, so I thought it would be a perfect reason to host a train show as putting on a train show is something I’ve wanted to do all my life. The train show will be hosted at my local American legion and will have 4 train layouts. One of the train layouts will be an O scale modular layout that the Midwest Division of the Train Collectors Association brings to many shows in the Chicagoland area. The second layout will be an interactive ho scale layout which will be put together by the Valley Model Railroad club and they are well known for letting everyone run their trains. The third layout will be put up by Denny’s Trains and Things a local hobby shop. Last but not least the fourth layout will be a fun floor layout put up by the president of the Midwest division and a fellow club member. All four layouts will be fun examples of model railroading ranging from scale railroading to the toy train side of the hobby. I will also have a garage sale at my show consisting of model train-related items that were donated to me during the process of planning for the show. The show will have free admission but donations will be great fully accepted. Thank you all for your time and I hope to see everyone there! If you have any questions please email me at gfwtrains@icloud.com or post a comment on this post and ill be sure to answer it. thanks!
