Upstate Model Railroaders

Club History

04/16/08

 

 

 The club formerly known as the Warren-Washington County Model Railroaders has a long history in the area. It had a rebirth in the basement of Aimie's Dinner and a Movie in Downtown Glens Falls, NY. Shortly after the 2005 train show  the club was offered the basement as their permanent home thanks to Bud Wolf, Sandy and Kerry Metivier. After many years wandering in the desert (not really), the room offered the possibility for expansion and because of the additional scales added to the club we had many new members join. We are now up to 30 members and counting. The clubs attractions are four large layouts, a library, and train memorabilia. All layouts from N to G are running with construction progressing.  A complete rebuilding of the HO scale layout is underway to update it's operational capabilities. Construction has started on a brand new G scale layout and trains are running as of the last open house. Come down and visit on any Wednesday evening. here is a list of our 2007- 2008 activities :
