Guests to the event will enjoy seeing miniature trains rolling through very detailed scenery, representative of northeastern Pennsylvania, on more than 900 feet of double-tracked mainline, and a 75-foot, single-tracked branch line. Many model locomotives feature realistic steam and diesel sounds and are controlled by wireless digital controllers. Visitors will be taken back to the days when coal was king, and the railroads were starting to switch to more modern diesel power while still running steam locomotives.
All phases of various types of layout construction are on display. Club Members will be available during showtimes to discuss the train exhibit and answer questions.
The Short Line Model Railroad Club is always open to new members. If you are interested in joining, ask any member for more information. The club is a great way for model railroad enthusiasts who don’t have their own trains or room for a layout in their home to participate in an enjoyable hobby with others.
Founded in 1989, the Short Line Model Railroad Club has strived to replicate authentic railroad operations in the 1950s with an emphasis on the railroads of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The club currently has 48 members who meet weekly for operating sessions, maintenance, and expanding and upgrading the layout.
