Fourth Annual Charity Chug at Smith Mountain Lake This Weekend

Remember those model trains you loved as a kid? It seems that residents of Smith Mountain Lake still have a passion for them. Come join the SML Model Railroad Group; they're holding their Fourth Annual Charity Chug to benefit Lake Christian Ministries, which helps needy families during the holidays. The benefit promises to be the biggest yet! Those who attend are asked to make a small donation at each of the homes they visit.


There will be eight different model train layouts for available for viewing. Five homes will be hosting on Saturday, December 4th from 1-5pm; those plus three additional homes will be open to enthusiasts on Sunday, December 5th from 1-5 pm.


Hosting homes are conveniently grouped together, and each host will be available for questions. Bring the kids, or grandkids – each layout will feature a fun checklist of features. Children and adults alike are encouraged to meet the challenge of finding the special features of each setup.


This year's Charity Chug will feature an amazing array of train types, including holiday trains, passenger trains, freight trains, and a collection of boxcars from all 50 states. Layouts all differ as well; you'll be amazed as you watch trains wind over trestles, chug through growing forests, and pass operating drive-in restaurants. There's even a cable car which runs to the top of a mountain!
