The North Carolina Garden Railway Society (NCGRS) is the Triangle's Garden Railroad Club, although the club does not limit itself to the garden. The size of the trains generally means that they appear outside in the backyard. The NCGRS is based in Durham with members throughout the triangle area.

Founded in 1991, the NCGRS is an informal group dedicated to helping each other learn tricks and techniques for enjoying large scale trains. The overall goal is to have fun with our trains. Bimonthly meetings rotate among the members so that different layouts can be seen and trains run. Meetings generally feature a program followed by an operating session where visitors are encouraged to bring their trains.

Garden railroading is one of the fastest growing areas of the hobby of model railroading. Garden railroading is actually two hobbies in one. The first is the model-railroading portion. The second is gardening, an aspect which has brought other family members into model railroading.

The Sipping and Switching Society
of North Carolina

Raleigh and Boone, North Carolina

HO Scale

The S&SS is a very loose group of about 12 HO modular modelers who became fed up with a local model railroad club that seemed to be more interested in running a club than in running trains. The S&SS has no proper organization at all, but instead operates by consensus. The position of "Cruise Director", who coordinates show appearances, rotates among members every show.

There is no "club" as such. Instead the S&SS simply gets together every month or so at a local restaurant to talk about trains. The S&SS displays its modules at train shows within a 250 mile radius, about 4-6 times per year. Any money earned at such shows is donated to a local charity.

Construction of the Club layout began in January 1989, and is almost 800 square feet (74 square meters) in area, with workshop and storage in an adjacent room.

The Railcommand Control System is used.

The Piedmont and Western Railroad is a fictitious line serving Western North Carolina whose mainline extends from Marion, NC to Leadvale, TN. Its chief purpose is to carry the trains of its owners, Southern RR and the Clinchfield RR across the Blue Ridge Mountains. Since it is the only Carolina's mainline that crosses the Blue Ridge, traffic is heavy. The P and W also maintains extensive terminal facilities in Asheville which is the focus of operations. Trains set off or pick up local traffic, or are reclassified for their final destinations. Modern operations with diesel locomotives are emphasized.

The Club's activities focus on Thursday nights, with monthly business meetings on the first Thursday and operating sessions on the fourth Thursday; informal viewing can be arranged in advance for the latter. Both Active membership and Associate membership levels are available.

The Wilson Area Railroad Modelers (WARM) is a membership of people interested in modeling a freelance layout with various styles, techniques and time periods — the steam era never died — and both steam and diesel locomotives work side-by-side, complete with shops to service both. The club organized in 1981, and began by meeting in members' homes to work on or to operate the member's layout.

The mainline is almost 8 scale miles long with dual main lines composing about 20% of the layout; this is being converted to a single main line with passing sidings. The layout consists of 65 modules in a semi-permanent configuration, some individually owned and detailed by club members. There are 2 main yards and one staging yard with a total capacity of 2,000 cars, and an engine servicing facility with a capacity of 60 engines. Control is Digitrax DCC, and signaling is being installed.

The club promotes interest in, and educates the public about model railroading by holding Open Houses every Saturday (except holidays) from 10am to 4pm. Admission is $1.00 per adult. Children are free but must be accompanied by an adult.

Tuscon NTRAK

Tuscon AZ

Connect to Tuscon NTRAK web site

 
Tuscon NTRAK is a not-for-profit social club whose theme is N Scale model railroading. Members enjoy the model train hobby and as a club are actively participating in it and promoting it. Part of the participation aspect is sharing accomplishments with the community, encouraging public rail crossing safety and railfanning safely along with respect for the railroad property being observed.

The club's roots go back to the early 1990's. For many years the club's layout was located at Davis Montham Air Force Base. After a couple of moves the club migrated towards NTRAK, and started setting up at Great American Train Shows. This led to the club becoming part of the Arizona & Southwest Model Railroad Society.

Tuscon NTRAK was an early adopter of DCC for control and utilizes the Digitrax DCC system.
