2009 Railroad Modelers Symposium
The 2009 Railroad Modelers Symposium will be held Friday and Saturday April 17th and 18th 2008. The Symposium will be held at the South Bend Firefighters Association, 4025 Lincoln Way West, South Bend IN 46628.
This year we will be asking for preregistration. Anyone who preregisters before April 1st the cost will be $30. After April 1st or at the door the cost is $35. This covers both days or one only. We feel this is a great value for what you will see. The form will be available online by December 1st.

We are requiring pre-registration this year.

How To Seminars
The focus of this 2-day symposium will be "Modeling a Railroad", not just rolling stock and locomotives! Both evenings feature three 90-minute presentations on popular prototype-based layouts. Both days are jam-packed with how-to seminars. Please review the listing of presentations and seminars below and you will see a wide variety of fantastic topics.
