More than 200 model train hobbyists are scheduled to attend the 2014 Spring S Spree at the Marion County Fairgrounds Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum, May 2 – 3, 2014. This annual event attracts model train enthusiasts from many states throughout the Midwest and will be hosted by the 50-member Central Ohio S Gaugers (COSG), a model train club based in the Columbus, Ohio area.
S Gauge is the modeling of 3/16 to the inch scale trains based on the original American Flyer Trains that dates back to WWII. Lionel Trains LLC manufactures American Flyer today, along with many other suppliers producing S Scale items.
The 2014 Spring S Spree consists of various events and activities, including “How to” Clinics, 150 Dealer tables selling S Gauge products, and several operating train displays from around Ohio and as far away as New Orleans. The convention is open to the public. Daily admission is $15.00 per person.
Concessions are also available. Parking is free. Convention hours are 10:00 am – 6:00 p.m. Friday, and 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 pm Saturday.
The Veteran’s Coliseum is located at 220 East Fairgrounds Street in Marion, Ohio.
