PLANES AND TRAINS EXHIBIT
NOVEMBER 20th-NOVEMBER 27th, 2010

The Middle Georgia Model Railroad Club will kick off the 2009 holiday season with a large miniature train display set-up at the Museum during Thanksgiving week. The “Planes and Trains” Exhibit will be open free to the public from Saturday, November 21 to Saturday, November 29 except for Thanksgiving Day when the Museum will be closed.

The club will have displays in two Museum buildings. A large HO-scale train display will feature several train lines continuously running through a landscape scene with miniature buildings, cars, bridges, rivers, buildings and an airport. The club will also have a large O-scale Lionel train running and "This Museum Planes and Trains display will be similar to what the club has set in year's past at the Georgia National Fair," said club member Joe Udemi. "Our Museum display last year at Christmas was a great success and we're planning an even bigger display this year for the Thanksgiving week." Udemi also works as an aircraft restoration volunteer at the Museum.

Club members will be on hand to answer questions about model trains and the hobby of model railroading. The Middle Georgia Railroad Club has been around since the 1970s and currently has about 20 members. They meet at My Father's Place restaurant on Moody Road in Warner Robins on the third Tuesday of every month and invite anyone interested in learning about model trains to come join their meeting. The club has a web site at http://members.cox.net/mgmrc/ and email address of mgmrc@cox.net.
