Show Report:

MichLTC had the opportunity to display at the Great Train Expo in Novi, MI. This particular event  is considered the club's annual "raise-the-bar" train show and this year's edition did not disappoint. The display featured three running train loops traversing through highly detailed urban and rural landscapes. In addition to old crowd favorites such as Jim Garrett's huge Fisher Building, Steve Ringe's animated drop section with moving vehicles, and Chris Leach's EL loop, many new models made their show debut including:
