Next week there are a few interesting toy train events that you can attend. The first option that you have is the Lionel Operating Train Society Event. It is scheduled for July 7 through the 12 and will be held at the Holiday Inn South Bend/South Bend Century Center. This site can be found at 120 S. St. Joseph Street in South Bend, Indiana. Here you will find a lot of great toy train collections including wooden train track displays, layout tours and modular layouts.
Your second option is the Castle Farms Garden Railroad Grand Opening. This event is scheduled for July 12. It will be located at Castle Farms, which can be found at 5052 M-66 North, Charlevoix, Michigan. This event will run from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. The Grand Opening celebration will be free, however, other times admission will be about $6 per person. This is a great place to get ideas for your own train table plans and layouts.
Your third option is Greenberg’s Train and Toy Show. It is scheduled for July 12 through the 13. It will be held at the Pittsburgh ExpoMart, which can be found at 105 Mall Blvd, Monroeville, Pennsylvania. It will be open to the public Saturday and Sunday from ten in the morning until four in the afternoon. Admission is free for kids under 12 and $7 for adults.
Upcoming blogs are going to focus on toy train table plans and projects. Post your ideas below and we may feature your story here. One upcoming project is how to design hot wheels table plans.
I agree- I spent a couple days researching this last week, although didn’t find as much information as you’ve displayed here. Thanks for the in-depth post, it certainly clarified a few things for me.
