It was a fun afternoon at Wadsworth’s K of C hall at our annual club dinner. Picture members in train hats, sharing stories, surrounded by train decor, enjoying food, and talking about projects and layouts. Awards and raffles made the night exciting. This was the NOGRS community highlight for our train enthusiasts. Below is a video of NOGRS camaraderie! Next stop: Live Steam train magic at theIX Center in Cleveland.
