The Sun City Model Train Club will be hosting its annual Spring Open House on Sunday May 21, 2017 from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. The G scale members (Garden Scale) are in the final stages of taking back their layout from the squirrels and chipmunks and making final repairs to their buildings and structures. N scale members continue to add buildings and scenery. O gauge is undergoing a major reconstruction project aimed at enhancing and expanding their layout and HO members have completed the new Dispatchers Board. So make plans now to come down and spend a spring Sunday afternoon with us.
Weekend Operations Return for 2017
If you can’t make the Open House on May 21, or you just can’t get enough of our trains our kickoff date for Sunday Operations will be Sunday May 28, the weekend after the Spring Open House, and it will continue throughout the summer. As in the past, operating hours are from 1 p.m to 4 p.m. However please note that Sunday operations will be dependent on weather conditions and availability of train crews. We will continue to post our sign “Trains are Running” at the entrance to the baseball parking lot, and we will also post a notice on the Sun City website every Friday by 12 p.m. It will appear in the “Charter Club Happenings” section on the bottom of the Sun City home page (sccah.com).
Both events will be held in the backyard and basement of the MiIlgrove Woodshop, 13400 Sun City Blvd. Huntley IL, 60142. Admission is free but we ask that children be accompanied by adults. Guests may call 847-669-2392 or log on to the Sun City website at sccah.com to get updates for upcoming events.
