The Wichita Area Garden Railway Society (WAGRS) will be having their first Spring Steam Up and Open House at the home of Dave and Lana McLain. The McLains layout is has three interconnected lines and capabilities for track and battery power so everything can be run! Everyone is invited to bring some trains to run or just come by to watch and enjoy the company (and some great food!)
The McLains residence is at 2434 N. Amidon in Wichita, KS. The Steam Up and Open House will go from 10am to 5pm Saturday and Sunday April 19 & 20. Dave's layout was nearly completely re-done and drastically expanded two years ago so the layout has a mixture of a mature and new feeling to it. Their railroad has been a favorite in our club's Fall Garden Railroad Tour for many years. For those without any trains to bring, there will be "loaners" available! If you are in the area please stop on by and have some fun running trains on a Kansas pike!

Here's a couple pictures of the McLain's layout from the 2006 Fall Tour. The remodeling of the layout's trackage had just been completed and the garden planting would wait until 2007:
