Waupaca train show 2021 and the historic depot

The Waupaca annual train show was June 19 - 20, 2021.
Model trains and vendors were in the two auditoriums.
I show a few pictures of one club:

The Menomonie group has a big modular railroad,
with one model for Consolidated Paper, which is of special interest in Central Wisconsin.

.
The model railroad show is once a year, but the Depot is open a few weekends,
you can look up the words 'Waupaca Historic Depot' to search for more information.

There's G scale railroading on a ceiling level of the basement

And this scene of the Waupaca Electric Light trolley is perfect for this, since a real one is in the shed outside.

Jeff gave tours of the depot basement and the model trains.

Mike got the model T running, with a whirr and some clanking until it smoothed out. No micro chips and computers here.
