KAUKAUNA - Trains raced around the tracks Saturday in the Fox Valley.

It's part of the Paper Valley Model Railroad Club's annual open house.

The Kaukauna club has been around since 1939.

The club hosts a fund raising event every Thanksgiving weekend.

Club members build and maintain the tracks and model landscapes, which are reminiscent of an earlier era.

"The neat thing about model trains is that it's kind of an historical item. So, it's not just running trains, but its a lot of history behind it that people can relive, enjoy, and learn about," said club president Paul Hillmer.

The club will host another open house on December 29th.
