I'll have my BNSF worm train running again this year, hopefully Atlas will deliver the next run of 5161's before showtime in June

ABOUT THE SHOW The 18th annual Galesburg Railroad Days Model Train & Railroadiana Show is the largest event of its kind in the Midwest during the summer months. Thirty model railroad layouts and exhibits and over 60 dealers from 15 states offering over 300 tables of railroad-related items, including books, antiques, apparel, art, collectibles, models and modeling supplies, photos and slides, videos and DVDs. Visitors will also be able to participate in lectures and video shows. Over 3,000 people attend this two-day event, which is an official event of the annual Galesburg Railroad Days. Admission is $5.00 per person (children 12 and under free). The proceeds of the gate fee will be a contribution to the Carl Sandburg College Foundation and used for student scholarships. All space is inside a new building which is fully air conditioned. There is adequate, free, paved parking for all attendees. An automated teller machine (ATM) is located near the college bookstore.
Other than it being about the hottest day I can ever remember anywhere ever, it was really a nice event. The weather's looking to be much cooler for the event this year.
