Marion Union Station Saturday March 6

Hard to believe we've not set up anywhere in over a year due to the pandemic. A few of us set up a TTrak display at Marion Union Station on Saturday March 6. It was nice to get out for a while but on a smaller basis. Thanks everyone!

Update on Visitors to the Club Location

 We have decided to start letting visitors in to the clubhouse on a limited basis. We are running Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:30 or later. The second Tuesday of each month is a business meeting and there won't be any trains running, visitors are welcome any other Tuesday. We are requiring face masks or shields and practicing social distancing as much as possible. We are limited to 10 people in the building at this time. If you would like to visit please contact us before hand to make sure someone will be there and keep in mind we are in a basement so there are stairs.

Cancellation of the 12th Annual Central Ohio NTrak Weekend

April 6, 2020
RE: Cancellation of Ohio N-scale weekend:

Vendors, Participants, and the General public:

We have waited as long as possible to make a decision about the impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the 12th Ohio N-scale weekend Scheduled for May 16-17, 2020.

Regrettably, We have decided to cancel the 12th Ohio N-scale weekend. 

While the current stay at home order Governor Mike DeWine issued is scheduled to expire on May 1st, the governor has indicated that a slow return to normal will be required after the stay at home order is lifted.  Our show definitely falls above the 100 person gathering restriction the governor issued prior to the stay at home order.  We do not believe this limit will be removed prior to the show.

We made an effort to secure a date later in the year to hold the show, but the only date our venue has available is in the middle of prime train show season.  We believe this will make it impossible to have a show of the quality we expect.

Participants and Vendors:

If you have already paid for registrations and/or tables, we will issue a full refund or apply the funds you have sent us to the 2021 Ohio N-Scale Weekend.  Dates for the 2021 show will be announced soon.

If you have any questions, please contact us at ohionscaleweekend@yahoo.com

Thank You,
Paul Bender
