We have been an active "S" model railroad club for over 30 years. Many of the original members are still actively involved. Enjoy these photos of our modular layout during its construction phase. All photos by Bob Werre.

Bob Werre recently commented on the Yahoo Groups S-scale mailing list "...Our little club used to meet in Jack's garage turned into a layout room with a fairly complete shop. He had a work area where about six guys could work on kits or whatever! The layout was there to run or to test all those brass engines coming out at the time. We met every Thursday evening. We often had guests schedule business trips to make our meetings..."

Bob continues "...Occasional meetings were held at my home or at Rusty's layout room. I was building my layout at the time so running trains and building the layout were the norm. Rusty's layout was mostly finished so running trains was the deal along with some video's which were becoming popular..."

All track is handlaid, code 100. Initially the modules were built for the NMRA National Convention in Houston in 1989. Many more modules have been built and old ones improved over time.
This last picture is of Danny Click's MKT Overland SD-40-2 and GP 38-2 units pulling its trains past the tower (built by Billy Click from a Ministructures kit), on the club's passenger module.
