Can't decide if you should just come to the Expo for two days or the Gathering for five? It seems our friend Highball Harry has made his decision although he seems to be leaving a little early. He must want to make sure he isn't late! If you're coming for the two day Expo or the full Gathering (which includes Expo admission) we look forward to seeing you in Girard Ohio this May for the 2026 Great Lakes Large Scale Train Expo & Midwest Garden Railroad Gathering! www.greatlakestrainexpo.com
