European model trains in Plymouth, Dec 29-30 & Jan 2-3

Unread post by Garry K »

The Plymouth District Library will show a European model railroad on four days after Christmas 2016. Check out the story at http://www.hometownlife.com/story/life/ ... /95419936/:
Alle an Bord! Model trains to tour European countries

The splendor of a European landscape and the Continental railroad system will be on display, in miniature, at the Plymouth District Library for four days after Christmas.

The library will host an expansive HO-scale model train display, featuring European landmarks such as a Dutch windmill, a German beer garden and the Berlin Wall, from the Great Lakes chapter of the European Train Enthusiasts.

The display will be available for viewing during library hours Thursday and Friday, Dec. 29-30, as well as Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 2-3.

The display will take up much of the two adjoining meeting rooms on the library's first floor. It will consist of many interchangeable modules, each measuring two feet by four feet, that will be attached together.

The display will be equipped to run up to four model trains simultaneously, with electricity to power the engines conveyed by overhead wires, as is the case for many real trains in Europe.

Jan Eisen, a member since 2000 of the Great Lakes chapter of the European Train Enthusiasts, will oversee the installation of the display. Eisen once owned Eisenbahn Model Trains, a shop that was located in Plymouth.

There is no admission charge for the train display, which is being sponsored by the Friends of the Plymouth District Library. It will be available from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Dec. 29-30 and Jan. 2-3.

The library is located at 223 S. Main Street in downtown Plymouth.
Sounds interesting.
