And don't forget the Prototype modeling train sale at the Sunshine Prototype Modeler's meet this Saturday, at the Naperville Holiday Inn. $5 at the door.

Actually, there will be a lot of Bloomington-area modelers (and modelers OF the Bloomington area) at Naperville this year, including a lot of P&E, NKP and ITC guys.
