The club has two days that members meet to socialize, run trains, and work on the club layouts. All members, public, and potential members are welcome and run their own trains. This is a great time to get to know members and build friendships and share knowledge of the hobby and railroading.

New Main Layout
The outside track will be a 5 rail track system. It will have the largest curves on the layout. O 100+ CURVES . Also the outer track has O scale and S scale track system making the outer track a great run for long trains, Big Boys, and 21 " cars. Which will all look great running on it. There will be O gauge loop inside the outer loop. There will be a pre/post war and standard gauge track section on the layout. There's plenty of options and room for more track loops, yards and sidings. Come down to the club's new location and see what has been done. Trust me it will be worth the time to see. Come join us at the club Wed morning from 7:30 am to 11:00 am
