Our club members have busy designing and building a new layout to display this year. We decided to return to the era when Steam Engines were King! So what better era to recreate and depict than one centered on life as it was in the Old West. Life was different then, but we are still able to recapture a great deal of it in a layout which is approximately 12.5' x 20'. Featured in our layout will be many Steam Engine Locomotives (including some finely detailed custom MOC’s) and rolling stock reminiscent of those times. Besides trains, you’ll also see:
