The Willamette Model Railroad Club has openings for new Members

Our Clubs goal is to enhance our member's model railroading sxperience by following plausable prototype operating practices on a layout featuring "scenic fidelity" (i.e. no spaghetti-bowl track plan), all housed in a freshly remodeled
room.

We are now building our new 1,800 sq.ft. HO scale railroad to support prototype operations. The new Layout will be state-of-the art and takes full advantage of contemporary layout design and construction practices, such as DCC, wide aisles, effective lighting, continuous staging, and efficient yard trackage. In addition to providing formal operations with a long point-to-point run (587 ft.), it will also accommodate continuous running for informal operations. Planned operations include through freights, unit trains, way freights, local switchers, and several yard jobs.

As of December 2009, Benchwork construction, trackwork and layout wiring are well underway with the goal of having some informal operating sessions by early 2010.

Totally new club layouts don't happen very often. Here's your chance to get in on the ground floor of something special.

Come visit us! Work sessions are on Mondays and Thursdays starting a 7:30pm in the basement of the Clackamas Community Center. Business meetings are on the first Thursday of the month. For more information, contact Rick Andrews at 503-642-3298 or at drdrews1@verizon.net.
