I wish I could be more help. I checked the World's Greatest Hobby database and could not find a layout (of any scale!) within 25 miles of Galena. :( The only thing close I could find is The Pizza Express/LGB Train shop in Carterville IL, 618-985-6292.

Anyone else know of anything?

Hi, guys!

This is last minute but I will be in the Galena, IL area this weekend and thought it might be fun to see some garden railways if there are any out that way. I'll be driving Rt. 20 from Rockford to Galena so if anyone is familiar with the area, please let me know. I checked the permanent railways section on GR.com but didn't see any listed.

I'm leaving Sat. AM so I'll be checking until then if you have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Jennifer
