The chapter attended a Train Show sponsored by Greenberg's Train Shows held over the weekend of March 27-28, 2010 in Wilmington MA.  Club members worked hard to set up the display in time for the opening of the show early on Saturday morning. Some pictures taken before and during the two-day event appear below.

The doors are open and interested observers line the aisle.  Smart parents come equipped with step stools for children to use in order to see all of the interesting details of our layout.
