6th Annual Model Railroad Open House

[Guest guest]

Visitors are welcomed aboard on December 15th, 2000! Get a first-hand look

at Bill Aucott's little transportation empire, a permanent private home

N-scale railroad layout which began well over 30 years ago. Now shared by

three generations of Aucott men - it's only the beginning.

It's an amazing room, jammed in an orderly way, with model trains, train

parts, and running G-scale trains suspended from the ceiling! Trains roll,

whistles blow, lights blink and flash as kids crane their heads for a better

look while parents and grandparents get a twinkle in their eye. Visitors

have always expressed their surprise at the amount of work and craftsmanship

that goes into the construction of a layout of this size. In almost every

case, visitors have asked to see what lies behind the scenes.

For the past five years, we have opened it's doors during the holiday season

for the enjoyment of friends, sharing all the loving hours of work, and all

the detailed thought that goes into this lifelong obsession. So, if you

live in LPA's Liberty Bell Chapter region or find yourself in southern New

Jersey during this holiday season, and the romance of real trains, captured

in miniature size appeals to you and your family, stop by and say hello!

But be warned. You might like it too much, and find yourself creating a

railroad, too!

December 15th, 2000 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm
