Most of us are in the Sandhouse Crew because we have caught the disease better known as Model Railroading (and the rest just have nothing better to do with one weekend a month). Part of the treatment for this disease, for which there is no known cure, includes mandatory attendance at Model Railroad shows to (usually, anyway) spend way too much money and see others' layouts. So, as long as we were going anyway, we decided we might as well build a layout and display it at some of these shows. Below you can find information and links on some of the shows we set up the layout at, as well as other shows in southern Wisconsin that some of our members attend.

| The above are some of the larger shows in the Southern Wisconsin area. Of course there are many other small and medium size shows that are put on throughout the year as well, but they are too numerous to list here. For a list of many train shows, including those in other states as well, you can check out a searchable list available at Model Railroader Magazine's website. |
