rrThe Masonic Homes and Elizabethtown Model Railroad Club has been offering open house showings on the first Saturday of every month with consistently large turnouts. Work on adding a trolley line in the layout of the "O" gauge platform has progressed. Bro. Elwood Schmidt, Past President, said the train and trolley will arrive simultaneously at an intersection where, through much careful planning, the trolley car will stop, avoiding a collision by yielding the right-of-way to the train.

The "HO" gauge platform expansion project has also progressed successfully. As a result there is more viewing area of the expansion and the entire layout. The next planned upgrade for the "HO" gauge platform is a central control panel and some expanded scenery.
