February Superintendent Message   Recently updated !

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” Our last layout tour was at Jon Robinson’s Double Diamond Model Railroad and it is not in a basement. In fact, it is in a couple shipping containers in his backyard! A very unique idea and […]


Passing of Charlie Treft   Recently updated !

I’m sorry to say that we lost another one of our members, Charlie Treft. He served as our clinic coordinator for several years. The past while he has had some health problems but he was able to attend meetings again a couple times before having to stay home again. I […]


January Superintendent Message

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” It is said that the only constant is change and the Red Car Trolley at Disney’s California Adventure is another thing changing. It opened in 2012 and is stopping next month to make way for new […]


December Superintendent Message

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” At the train show I found a hat that matches my caboose! No, not that caboose, the caboose you see in the selfie! When I saw it I knew I needed it. Only after I bought it did […]

September Superintendent Message

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” This month’s selfie finds me back up in Evanston this time with HO Free-mo – the 9th Annual Mountain States Free-mo Event. Guys came from California, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, I think Texas and probably a few others I’m […]


August Superintendent Message

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” This month’s selfie is actually a selfie collage! Just a few of the selfies I took at E24. While I had great fun running trains, I enjoyed even more interacting with friends I hadn’t seen in awhile as […]
