Summer 2026 Thousand Lakes Region Fusee
The Fusee is a quarterly publication of the Thousand Lakes Region of the NMRA. DSED is a proud member of the TLR and a regular contributor to its pages. See inside this issue for a report from the Thousand Lakes Region convention in Thunder Bay Ontario, a good discussion on adhesives, an update from the Twin Cities Division and an introduction to DSED member Eric Carlson’s HO scale Black Hills & Eastern Railroad.
We will be set up and running trains Friday Night June 26th 2026 from 5pm to 8pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm on Saturday June 27th 2026. We will be at the Depot – 600 W 5th St Canton, South Dakota. See you there!
Each spring (April) and fall (November) we host a community education class on ‘Model Railroad Module Building’. Each registrant has the opportunity to add track to a 2-foot T-Trak module, add some scenery and then run trains on the completed modules. We had a great time building the scenery on the modules and made some new friends of model railroading.
Our next class is scheduled for the four Tuesdays in November 2026. Classes are from 6-8pm each evening. One of the classes is a tour of two of the instructor’s home model train layouts. Information and registration will be available sometime in August 2026 through the Sioux Falls Community Education program at https://sfsdcomed.myrec.com.
