Sunset Hill's Illiana Train Society Membership Application




The Sunset Hill’s Illiana Train Society (ITS) is a not for profit group of G-Scale enthusiasts from the states of Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. It’s a family affair - membership is by family.

Society family members are interested in all areas of G-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 show our individual garden layouts at various times to the general public and maintain a public venue  called “The Bull Moose Line”  at Sunset Hill Farm County Park to promote G-scale railroading.

Activities include monthly member meetings, held on the 4th Tuesday of the month, “How to Clinics,” model railroad show attendance, steam train excursions, visits to member’s railroad garden and an annual picnic in August and a Holiday party in December.

Every Saturday, beginning in 2019, members will meet to run trains on the “Bull Moose” outdoor layout at Sunset Hill Farm County Park from 10:00AM to 4:00PM during the months of May through September (weather permitting.)

Membership Requirements
The only requirements for membership in the Society is an interest in model railroading. It is not necessary to have a garden railroad in operation to become a member.

Membership Fee                                                                  

 Voting Membership $50 per year.                                   Associate Membership $30 per year.
