The grand opening of the Inland NW Railway Museum in Reardan was held on Saturday, August 27th, and there was a sizable Free-mo layout presented by the Inland NW Free-mo Modelers group. Representatives from Idaho were also there with both HO and N-scale Free-mo modules.

The celebration was very well attended and it was good to see significant progress toward what promises to be an attractive and functioning center for rail oriented activities. The museum’s web address is http://inlandnwrailmuseum.com/.

Next on the Inland NW Free-mo Modelers group calendar is the Fall Spokane Train Show in October.

Enjoy these pictures that were taken at the event on Saturday.
