It was the best of both worlds Sunday for many youngsters -- and the young at heart -- as the Northern Illinois Lego Train Club visited the Fox River Valley Public Library in East Dundee.

The club exhibited a dazzling collection of model train displays featuring buildings, castles, spaceships, farms, pop culture characters and more, all made from the popular building blocks.

Among the awe-struck visitors was 6-year-old Andrew Kramer of West Dundee.

“This is his favorite thing,” said Andrew’s mom, Megan Kramer. “He was counting down the minutes until it (the show) opened.”
