Check out model railroad layouts at open house

About this Article

In its 63rd annual open house, the Valley Model Railroad Club is doing something different. Members are pairing their three-day open house event with a food drive benefiting the South Elgin Food Pantry. Visitors who bring in a canned good or some other nonperishable item will get a free raffle ticket and be entered into a drawing for model railroading prizes. The public is also invited to learn more about the club's railroad layout and admire the models they have been building up since 1999.
