I just recently contacted the WVRR to see about setting up model railroad layouts in Metamora for the Richmond Area Railroaders Society. We just need to scout out a good spot to set up.

ITM will be running their National Train Day festivities a week early due to construction in forst Park on the twelth blocking the roads. (Why we don't move down to Fishers as a departure point to the museum is above my paygrade...)
