It is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Monongahela Valley Railroad Historical Society. The club's purpose is to build and display an HO scale layout representative of the Mid-Mon Valley area. We provide fun, fellowship and the exchange of ideas and model railroading information among our members. The club is a 100% National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) club. Activities of the clu
b include building and operating an HO scale layout to depict the Mid-Mon Valley and some of the more important industries throughout history. The club layout is controlled by DCC (Digital Command Control). This control system allows us to control each locomotive separately and move in different directions. These functions are enabled by a computer chip installed in the locomotive, which decodes the instructions sent from the command station. This system increases the interest and possibilities in running the layout. We are also conducting operating sessions among club members- where we run the layout as a real railroad. We also exhibit the members' HO scale modular layout at local functions. Our members come with a wide range of skills and abilities from novices to advanced modelers. We are always willing to share with others and learn from others as well. Interested individuals are invited to attend our meetings and consider joining our club. We accept adult members (18 and over), and junior members (10-18 with an adult sponsor willing to join the club, usually a parent or guardian). Come by on a Friday night and hang out with us, you won't regret it!
