The Southern Indiana Railroad Club Train show and Sale
Jeffersonville IN, September 26th 10 am to 2/3 PM

Every year we list our vendors... this year is no exception

Returning Vendor : Dennis Rahn.
Those of you who have been to train shows in the Central Indiana and Ohio areas, will recognize Dennis as a longtime fixture of most train shows around Indianapolis IN, Dayton OH, Cincinnati OH, Springfield OH and so on. His Operation "Whistles and Growls" once had a Brick and Mortar location in Greenwood, but now he exclusively concentrates on train shows. Dennis himself is a modeler with a most excellent HO scale layout.
Generally he focuses on nearly new and used HO scale items, but from time to time he has limited N scale, O scale, and book offerings on his table. You never know what is going to be on Dennis's tables

Returning Vendor : Joe Williams
Joe Generally has a bunch of HO Equipment for sale. He usually brings a few hundred freight cars with kds and steel wheels, several dozen built up buildings,
flex track, CMW-Mini Metals cars and trucks.

Returning Vendor : Perry Harrell
Perry has been a part of our shows in the past.
Not quite sure what he will be bringing to the tables this time around. Maybe he will chime in on this post?

Returning Vendor : R & J Details with Rick Geerts
Rick is a Division 8 MCR NMRA Louisville, KY member. He is really into the details. Rick creates 3-d printed H O scale detail parts like vending machines, power motive engines ,rooftop details, room interior kits and sells them. He is always coming up with something new. I might even have some of his stuff in my stash for when I get to the point where I am back working on the railroad.
Looking for that little bit of extra detail to make your scene POP? Rick might have just what you are looking for.

Returning Vendor : Bill Hunter
Bill, a regular vendor at the Division 8 Train show and sale, will be bringing along all sorts of items.

Sorry folks!

Being at La Grange railfest last month has taken a toll on our little band of mighty warriors. We are using June and July to refocus on what our Second Saturday Open house experience looks like.

We are looking to break back into open houses with a bang in August. We are planning on open operating sessions at most of our open houses, along with our traveling layout being up and accessible for those who wish run in circles.

We are very much looking forward to once again being able to put a throttle in your hand so you can play trains with us.

In the meantime, please feel free to drop in on a Thursday evening between 6.30 or so and 8.30 pm...we would be more then happy to show you around.
