The Short Line Model Railroad Club, located at 11 S. State St. (Rear), Ephrata, Pa., will celebrate the Holiday Season with an Open House/Train Show on November 30th from 1-4 p.m. This wonderful family event is free and open to the public; however, a donation to the club is appreciated. The entrance to the event is located in the rear of the building.
Guests to the event will enjoy seeing HO scale trains rolling though 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 of the 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. This year also makes the completion of our logging line addition.
