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.)
