There is absolutely nothing like a good “ohhh and ahhh” in a buzzing club open house. North Metro Model Railroad Club shared that they had Lots of oohs & aahs at their recent Open House at the North Metro Model Railroad Club (NMMRC) in C**n Rapids. They had over 550 people who enjoyed seeing trains running and the magnificent scenery depicting Minnesota cities and towns.

Their next stop is the Train Show & Flea Market, Saturday, December 12th. They hope to see you there!

Meanwhile in Oklahoma, Dale Baker’s HO Port of Catoosa 🚢 is giving us all envy. Did we mention he lives next door to ANOTHER model railroader with a beautiful N-Scale layout. Oh, AND he can see the port (from above) from his house. If there was a model railroad lottery… this might be the grand prize and clearly Dale has been playing 🤣 thank you Dale for always letting us in to get these beautiful images of your great work.
