As one of the most fun places in Westchester County, the Westchester Model Railroad Club amazed young and old, men and women alike.

Small children stared at the massive detailed engines pulling a long string of freight cars around one of our three mainline tracks, while an Amtrack passenger train speeds by on another.

Adults marveled at presision timing as an engine slowly moves out of the roundhouse onto the electric turntable and procedes to assemble a long freight train in "The Yard", then slowly moves out onto the third main.

All three tracks were filled with cars to excite every viewer. Construction on the layout began over 35 years ago with just a few members and a dream to give quality wholesome fun back to the community. Many of us have had Lionel trains as a child. Most men started out as children bonding with their fathers while assembling either a temporary layout around the Christmas tree or in the basement constructing memories that last a lifetime.

Well we are those children, and now we're adults. Our goal in using and maintaining that beautiful layout was two fold. First, this was a direct connection to great childhood memories of the past. Second, we want to continue to be a positive influence on another generation.
But time marches on and so did the train club... Gone Forever!
