QSME Annual Show

Come on, you know it. I know it.

Everybody likes trains--at least the model kind. And this weekend is the annual train show at the Quincy Society of Model Engineers, on the lower level of Good Samaritan Home on Harrison Street.

As usual they have the HO-scale Hannibal Bridge layout by Dave Scharnhorst, this year with the barge running under the bridge (the bridge goes up first, of course, and that stops the trains).

There's the big G scale layout on the floor, very popular with the kids, as well as an old tinplate Lionel/American Flyer setup that you can operate yourself.

Top that off with a small N-scale demonstration loop that shows you how nice these small (half the size of HO) wonders of machinery look and run.

And I haven't even mentioned the "big layout", QSME's huge Chesapeake & Lake Erie railroad.

If you haven't been down to see it, go. It's in the basement at Good Sam, just go in the front door and follow the RR Crossing crossbucks.

They run until 5 p.m. tonight (Saturday 11/11) and then from noon to 5 on Sunday.

Come on, EVERYBODY likes trains!
