CLUB FEATURES
1. The Layout. We have two independent main line tracks, each 246 feet long, with 28” minimum radius, 3/4 scale mile sidings and a multiple wireless throttle system. There are several independent industrial and mountain tracks with many side yards. Our members have in their collections, many unique locomotives representing a broad cross section of steam, diesel and electric motive power to pull an equally broad cross section of freight and passenger cars. We're not "stuck in an era", we have sections representing a wide variety of railroading, allowing great flexibility.
2. The Latest in Model Railroad Technology. Our newest feature at TNMRC is the addition of DCC (Digital Command Control). We have the EasyDCC system which is compatible with all NMRA DCC approved decoders. Currently all four lines are available for DCC operation with 4 wireless control throttles. Using DCC, it is possible to run multiple trains on the same track at the same time, while controlling them independently!
3. Flexibility and Access. The ability to run DCC and DC simultaneously on different tracks is a great option! Eighty car trains are a common sight on our layout with the record being 201 plus power and caboose, try that on your home layout! Our club is available to members 24/7, plenty of well-lit parking and space available for a few more personal storage cabinets at the clubhouse are added benefits.
4. Location. Our layout is Permanent, conveniently located at 3515 B Forney Ave, Mesquite, TX 75149, just off US 80 and Town East Blvd (10 miles east of downtown Dallas), CLICK HERE for a map. TNMRC is a member of the North Texas Council of Railroad Clubs. We are Independent and Stable, with approximately 43 members and growing.
At this time, our club membership is open. If you would like an application, CLICK HERE.
