Though many of our members are collectors of trains, "operating" is our middle name. Building a layout needn't be a huge project: many member's simply lay tracks on their carpet and run their trains. Other's have constructed huge layouts in converted garages or basements for their operations, complete with scenery so detailed the eye is easily fooled. In our club, a layout is what you make of it: simple, complex, seasonal, or modular. The only theme in common is fun!
The Division recently assisted a fellow member in building a model railroad layout. Here are some pictures from the various building sessions.
Photos by Bill Weed Member Tom Regelein has operated model trains for years, and has been instrumental in assisting new members to develop their collections. His layout has changed over the years, and was recently expanded to almost double the available space. Tom is an avid operator, and enjoys accessories of all kinds.
Much of the material used in the construction of the layout has been donated by members. All donations are tax deductible, so if you have materials or time, donate!
