Our Story

We accept donations and contributions of trains, train paraphernalia, memorabilia and other train related items. We are a 501(c)(3) organization and contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

The Club meets regularly on every Wednesday of the month. A business meeting is usually held on the first Wednesday of every month at 6:30 PM. Regular members are welcome to work on the layout or run trains any time they wish.  Regular members are given access to the building 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Probationary members will need to be escorted by a regular member for the length of their probation. 

It is customary for all members to put a minimum of 8 hours a month into working on the layout. Working at the club helps members develop friendships and skills. The club has a set of By-Laws that all members will be expected to follow..

The layout is in three distinct sections: the Southern Division features a large passenger terminal and a four track subway system, the Central Division features five mainlines and numerous crossovers and the Northern Division features a large yard with steam and diesel servicing facilities.

The dimensions of the layout are 185.5 feet in length by an average width of 30 feet. The layout is located on the third floor of a building in a room 250 feet by 50 feet with unobstructed views.  The building is an old silk mill hence we named our room Silk City Station.

The “Red” line encircles the whole layout and consists of 420 feet of track that is almost 4 scale miles.
