A Publication of the sHOw MODULAR MODEL RAILROAD CLUB

BRIMS Museum Layout Opens
Science will have the official opening of
the permanent transportation exhibit
featuring a model train layout on
Saturday, March 7th from 10:00 a.m. till
5:00 p.m. Part of the closing events of the
Warren County Bicentennial celebration,
the 13 foot by 30 foot exhibit features an
HO scale layout created by the museum
staff, members of the sHOw MODULAR
MODEL RAILROAD CLUB and
community volunteers. Over 700 hours
of labor were donated to design the
layout, constuct benchwork, lay
roadbed and track and to make buildings
and scenery for one of the largest
push-button operated model railroads in
the country. Over 100 structures, 500
trees and shrubs, six tunnel portals and
six bridges provide a convincing
environment for the trains. Several
vignettes of Bowling Green, Kentucky
including the Corvette Museum,
Interstate 65 overpass, Fountain Square
Park and buildings around the square.
The Warren County Courthouse, the
classic Louisville & Nashville passenger
depot and a working feed mill, bottled
gas company, concrete block company
and a quarry will be of particular interest
to residents of the area. Be sure to visit
this display. A list of all who worked on
this project along with photographs and
our club brochure have been submitted
to the Bicentennial committee for
inclusion in the time capsule to be buried
Saturday, March 7th, 1998.
