 “All Aboard!”
The Illiana Garden Railway Society (IGRS) is a not for profit group of G-Scale enthusiasts from the states of Illinois and Indiana. Society members are interested in all areas of garden and modular large-scale model railroading. Among our goals is the education of the public about garden railroading, railroad modeling and the construction and running of garden railways. To that end, we plan to show our individual garden layouts at various times to the general public and to display our portable modular layout at schools, children’s hospitals and various expositions in Illinois and Indiana to promote G Scale railroading. |
