Enthusiasts Gather for 12th Lawrence Model Railroad Show
Two year old Eli Kaul watched a model train on a rail layout by the Topeka Model Railroad Club at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Grandparents Nancy and Gus Begina traveled from Topeka for the show, which drew numerous children and adult hobbyists. Lawrence organizer Jan Brocker notes vendors from Kansas and Missouri filled about 50 tables with trains, accessories, books, and DVDs. Bryan Ohrman of Independence, Missouri, new to the hobby, started a layout for his grandson after researching online and reading magazines.
