Our Facility
The Orlando N-trak Club is a well established model railroad club with its own building located off E. Colonial Dr (Highway 50) on the east side of Orlando, Florida. In our 30ft. by 60ft. train room we operate both an N-scale layout and HO layout using Digitrax DCC.

Public Hours
Our club is open to the public every Wednesday night at 7:30pm.
Anyone who is under the age of 18 cannot enter the Club House, be on Orlando N-Trak property or take part in club activities unless accompanied by a parent, guardian, responsible adult or a member sponsor. For purposes of this club, a guardian cannot be a person under the age of 18 and must have legal responsibility for the adolescent. If the responsible adult is not a family member of the adolescent, written permission from a parent or guardian must be presented to a member, who will give the document to the secretary for filing.
Operation Sessions
Every 4th Wednesday of the month, at 7:30pm, our club conducts a programmed operations session on our permanent N-scale layout. Rail traffic is directed by dispatch via track warrants. During the session, the layout operates point to point with Cincinnati Ohio as our Western terminus and Bound Brook New Jersey as our Eastern terminus.
In addition to running OPs on our permanent layout, our member's open up their home layouts for operations as well. In the future, we plan to host OP sessions on our HO layout and N-scale traveling layout.
Our History
Our club was originally started in the 1980's by a few dedicated people. The layout consisted of N-trak standard modules owned by individual members of the club. In the late 1990's we were able to purchase a permanent building on the east side of Orlando, Florida. In the past decade, our club has transitioned away from N-trak standard modules to a permanent N-scale layout, HO layout, and modern N-scale modules. Although the focus of our hobby has transitioned from our name-saked, we are still finding enjoyment in the new avenues we have ventured.
