> At the Heritage Center - C&OHS O-scale layout team leaders Scott Cyrus, Nick Marakovits, and Jeremy Ferrell from West Virginia will be present. They will be running the museum’s model layout of the C&O Railway's route and showcasing equipment representative of the 1940s through the Chessie System era. Additionally, they will be joined by guests from the Appalachian Model Railroad Society in Ashland, Kentucky.

Dixon and illustrator Natalie O'Dell will be on hand from 11 AM to 2 PM for the first-ever author/artist book signing of the C&OHS's history-making children's book, Chessie Takes a Train Trip. The just-published storybook has introduced Chessie the Railroad Kitten to a new generation and this event is the first time author and artist have been together for a joint signing since the book's release. Don't miss the chance to own a signed piece of history!

> The newly-formed C&OHS T-Trak modular group will be holding their first-ever showcasing of members' modules from several states at the Clifton Forge armory, including C&OHS member Craig Laing's detailed module of Prince, WV and C&OHS member Doug Andre's new module of Nuttall in the New River Gorge. This rapidly-expanding group for N-scale modelers continues to gain traction and wishes to educate additional C&O modelers of N-scale of the possibilities of T-Trak and how modules can be combined during shows to form large layouts.
