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 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.

Right of Way
Al Puppo has sent in a You Tube link that displays a video on how to use decoder pro software to program on engine. This will require a computer, the JRMI software installed on your computer (it is free shareware), and a USB port and an item called locobuffer (purchased from Tony's Train Exchange) that converts the USB signal to a Digitrax signal and connects to the layout via the traditional cable. Thanks Al! I have also posted a link on the photo page to the pictures I took at the RPI layout in Troy NY on April 27th 2012. I am trying something different. The link takes you to a Flickr Photo page where all the pictures are displayed.
