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.
 Many people expressed an interest in joining the club. Please use the Feedback link to receive an application via email or pick one up at the club any Wednesday evening. Click on the Directions link for the address and map information.

Right of Way   

An exhausted group of club members arrived home late last night and early this morning. We spent the weekend at the Springfield train show in MA. We displayed our two club modules and ran our trains as part of  the Northeast Ntrak layout. In between we toured the four show buildings, talked to manufacturers, and shopped for MORE TRAINS! LOL
