Plan ahead for a holiday visit to Western Pennsylvania model railroad exhibit and display in Gibsonia, Pa.

altThis huge H.O. gauge model railroad never fails to delight anyone who sees it.  Last year we had two groups of PPT rail fans and just interested members go to the layout, and enjoyed lunch together afterwards.  More information will be posted closer to the holidays.  Every year something new is added.  If you went last year expect some changes.  Call Bob at 412-784-9437 for more information.
