The annual garden railroad show at Milwaukee’s Mitchell Park “Domes” horticultural gardens
will open soon (Jan 14 to March 18) and I am sure there will be postings about it. Feb 25-26 will be the big “all scales” train show that coincides with the garden railroad exhibit.
Today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has a major article about how a significant project at the Domes – paved walkways rather than the crushed rock of before – was paid for by the sponsored freight cars in prior years’ shows. The garden railroad train exhibit is I have heard THE biggest single attraction at the Domes all year, so presumably the sponsors get value for their money, too.
