The show was very good last year and I encourage all modelers in the Grand Rapids area to attend.
The normal designated visitors hours for the club are Tuesday nights from 7-8pm guaranteed. Normally, the club is also open in the couple of hours prior to that time.
The club may be open at other times, but there is no guarantee or set schedule for other hours. If you're in the area an want to visit the club, you can call Hobbyworld at 616-538-6130 to see if anyone is downstairs in the club room. Otherwise, feel free to drop me a PM and I might be able to tell you who might be downstairs on any particular day.

Re: West Michigan Model Railroad Club 2014 Train Show
Wouldn't it be better to have the show on a weekend when a lot of people have the day off? I would think you'd get a better turnout, but that's just my opinion.MQT1223 wrote:C'mon down to the West Michigan Model Railroad Club's annual train show on Monday, December 8th from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Less then $5 per person to get in the door (don't remember the exact price).

28th St. on US 131 is exit 81 (M-11) Since Clyde Park is relatively close to US 131, if you are coming from out of town you probably want to go that way instead of getting off at the M-11 exits on I-96 and I-196 and driving through all the congestion. (From SW MI I take I-196 to M-6 then US 131 north to exit 81) This is how I get to Clyde Park when going to Hobbyworld.
To get to 5380 Clyde Park, I would get off at the 54th street exit, which appears to be the first exit north of M-6, and go west on 54th street and, according to google maps, looks like it's near the intersection of Clyde Park and 54th street.
Hope this helps.
