On Dec. 23, the Kishwaukee Valley–Eakin Creek Model Railroad Club held the drawing for three Rio Grande Ski Trains.

The winners are: Caesar Baldacci, a Sun City resident who will give the train set to his grandson; Elsa Dobbeck, a Sun City resident who will give the train set to her great-grandchildren; and Jacob Smetters, grandson of Bob Mede, a Sun City resident.

Each winner received a complete operating train set, including track, transformer, engine and cars.

This year’s display, another successful event sponsored by the train club, had hundreds of youngsters and adults stop by to see the layouts in Sun City’s Prairie Lodge.

The club thanks all those who purchased raffle tickets or simply stopped by to see the trains.

The Kishwaukee Valley–Eakin Creek Model Railroad Club will sponsor its annual Spring Open House May 20.
