A Non-Profit 501-(c) 3 Organization
Welcome to our Web site! We are the Upstate Model Railroaders. Our headquarters are located in the basement of Aimie's Dinner and a Movie at 190 Glen Street in downtown Glens Falls NY. Please go to the front door and use the door to the basement on the right as you enter. There will be an “OPEN” sign in the window when we are in session. All are invited. Learn about the history of railroading in the northeast and the importance of railroads in our lives, from the early 1900’s to present, learn about the building and operation of a model railroad and the rewards of this hobby. Our activities include: monthly business meetings, monthly open houses which are free of charge, 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 our purpose and function is to provide instruction in various modeling techniques. Please use the Feedback link to receive an application via email or pick one up at the our location any Wednesday evening. Click on the Directions link for the address and map information.
