Northeastern Wisconsin O Gaugers Club presents its' 5th annual FUN RUN train show at Van Veghel's Auction House and Paluka's Pub. This show features the largest modular train layout north of Milwaukee ( 50' x 90' ) and admission is FREE. Come visit our club running 3 main lines of trains February 5th thru February 14th, with general run time from 11AM to 8PM daily except on Sunday, to 5PM (Feb. 14th 1PM dismantling begins). Club members stand by ready to discuss the wonderful world of trains. Welcome to all. Van Veghels is located on Highway 57 South of De Pere at 2050 Profit Place, 2 1/2 miles south of the Claude Allowez Bridge. Hope to see you there!
Can't make it to the "Sunshine state of Wisconsin" that weekend, so be sure to post some pics on the thread.
Paluka's Pub sounds like my kind of drink-em-up establishment.
Pardon me for bringing this back to the top of the forum, but trains are a runnin' in DePere; Steam, Diesel and Electrics. All those in NE Wisconsin and Yooper land, please take note. We had a good public crowd today checking out the club's massive modular layout, and the local TV will run a spot on the evening news. Great for promoting the hobby. Also, Thanks to Kalmbach Publishing for providing literature for handouts to the general public. ALL ABOARD....
This is a great layout for the whole family to see. I went to see it Saturday and thought it was very impressive. The layout has everything from an iron ore dock to a container crane. The club members are very friendly and were more than happy to answer the questions I asked them. The Northeastern Wisconsin "O" Gaugers should be proud. Nice job folks!
