RACINE — The Lionel Railroad Club of Southeast Wisconsin will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19.

The public is invited to come and see Lionel Railroad Club members operate a variety of “O” and “S” gauge trains.

Admission is free, and everyone is welcome.

The club, founded in 1997, is located above American Coin & Jewelry, 4625 Washington Ave. The club entrance is on Ohio Street, on the west side of the building. Visitors are asked to park in the south lot.

The club features five model train layouts:

• The 10-by-14-foot layout features a Plasticville city and a carnival scene with operating rides.
• The second layout is 17-by-27 feet and features three loops of track with wide sweeping curves and numerous sidings.
• An “O” gauge layout is pre-World War II.
• A Thomas the Tank Engine track is set at a height for children to enjoy.
• A newly created “S” gauge American Flyer track is 5-by-8 feet.

“The layouts will appeal to people of all ages,” said Tim Deadrick, the club’s president.
