Grey Central Christmas Open House

Once again this year the Grey Central Model Railway Club will open its doors to the public for a Christmas Open House on December 7, 2014.  This is your chance to see a great layout in action. 

This is a great event for the whole family.  The event runs from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.  This is your chance if you missed the event in September to see what Model Railroading is all about. 

Thomas the Tank will be running on the layout that day as well, so even the young ones will find something of interest.  So get into the Christmas spirit by dropping by.  Take a little time to see what the group has been up to and enjoy the additions that they have made over the past months.
