Welcome to our Web site!

We are the Upstate Model Railroaders. The club is located in the basement of Aimie's Dinner and a Movie located at 190 Glen Street in downtown Glens Falls NY. Please go to the front door of Aimie's and use the door to the basement on the right as you enter. There will be a sign in the window when the club is in session. All are invited. Learn more about the building and operation of a model railroad. Club activities include: Monthly  business meetings, monthly open houses, weekly operating sessions every Wednesday evening from 7-10 PM, an annual railroad show in December, and field trips. You don't need to be talented in any area of model railroading since part of the club's purpose and function is to provide instruction in various modeling techniques.
And please patronize Aimie's Dinner and a Movie, they helped make our dream come true!

President's column

I want to thank everyone who helped out at the Maple Sugar Festival. The G scale trains were a big success. I hope we can repeat this success with the display at Aviation Mall on May 16th. 

We also have gained some new members to the club and I would like to welcome them all, as well as welcome back returning members.   2009 is a year that demands big things out of the club from with in the community and I am proud of the club for rising to meet the challenge.   I am very pleased with the clubs dedication and determination, and am confident that future weeks will bring us more memberships and bigger things.

Adam Hofmann

President 2009
