To find us in Waynesboro take
the third Waynesboro exit from the East off I-64 (Exit 96, US 340 North).
Proceed north on Rosser Ave until the stoplight at intersection with US 250.
Continue on what has become Broad Street, still US 340 North. When you see the
sign for Pizza Hut on the right look for the Gateway Park shopping center with
Little Caesar’s Pizza and the Laundromat. We are in between them where the

Our operating
layouts consist of a 20’x7’ “O” scale oval, a 32’x18’ “HO” scale walk-in, a
6’ diameter “HO” circle reserved for young engineers, a 14’x10’ “N” scale
oval, and a 6’x30” “N” scale oval. At the new location the big HO layout is
much larger. Also we have pictures, diagrams and local railroad memorabilia,
and a library of back issues of modeling magazines. Throughout the year,
we will now be open the second and last Saturday of each month from 11:00 am
until 3:00pm. During the holidays we
are open the Friday after Thanksgiving and will be open every Saturday and
Sunday until New Years Eve, except Christmas Day. Our holiday hours are from 10:00 am until
4:30 pm on Saturday and from 1:00 pm until 4:30 on Sunday. The membership is
divided into three operating teams. * Each holiday Saturday two teams
operate, with members bringing their own trains to run. During the regular
season and Sunday afternoons during the Christmas season one team runs. (The former National Railroad News link is gone, here’s Progressive Railroading) Historic
