Train Ride

Note: This will be a "companion" ride to Wynn Gerber's train ride on the same day, but will NOT be a star chase.

Wynn Gerber's brother-in- law, who lives on Russia Road just west of Rt 58, has an extensive miniature train display. It is a G gauge train set (1/24”).  The train set runs in roughly a 20’ * 50’ area in his back yard and is highlighted by different scenes with miniature characters. The scenes vary from a fairy garden to Mt Denali in Alaska. There also is a bicycling scene.

We are timing our ride to basically end at his house at

approximately 1 PM. We intend to spend some time there to

allow everyone participating to view the various scenes (there

may even be a quiz). We will then head back to

Oberlin.

We will average somewhere between 12.5 and 13.5 depending on the wind with rest room breaks in Kipton and at the township hall on Butternut Ridge Rd. if needed.  Click below for a route map.
