A friend of mine who lives in Nashville is looking for garden railroading activity for her family in the Hannibal, Missouri area. Anyone know of any clubs around there or have anything I might be able to pass on?
Much appreciated!
Have you contacted Rig River Train Town? They have multiple model railroads and may have contact info for garden railroad layouts and/or clubs in the area?
Quincey, IL across the river has a HO club called Quincy Society of Model Engineers. You might be able to reach them. I don’t think their club is open due to COVID since it is in the basement of a nursing home. But at least they would be able to tell you if there are any layouts in the area. There’s probably a Garden club for the St Louis area so could try the shops down there.
Train Town has a decent Lionel layout and a pretty cool collection of engines and cars on the walls. We always stop in there for a few minutes when we are in town. I would stay in there for hours but the kiddos don’t care about trains anymore.
I have not but I will. Thanks for the suggestion!

Due to Covid, most activities of the club are basically in limbo…
