Marvin Nauman 1921-2012

One of our members has passed from us. Marv Nauman was a long time model railroader and collector. Marv was a tall and slender fellow, never afraid to speak his mind. His interests were in big trains - Standard Gauge and "G" scale. Marv had a portable layout that he took to shows to exhibit some of his big trains. Their impressive presence was obvious in contrast to the N and HO scale layouts that dominate in numbers but certainly not in their size. Marv loved to talk trains; he will be missed.

Funeral Service at 11:00, Saturday, Jan 5, 2013, at Central Lutheran Church, Chippewa Falls, WI

Welcome to the Indianhead Model Railroad Club Website

Model railroading is fun! That has been the motto of the hobby for many years. It's true for train fans of all ages. Let's keep it that way and share the fun with others.

This website is for the promotion the Indianhead Model Railroad Club and also for the promotion the model railroading hobby. A closely related hobby is railfanning, following the activities of full size, aka prototype, railroads and their history. That's also fair game for this website. The actual content is up to the IMRC membership, so members, submit your stories, photographs, poems, etc, to the club webmaster. (See Contact Us for the email address.)
