The French Creek Valley Model Railroaders are based in Meadville, PA. They are part of the French Creek Valley Railroad Historical Society. The group is located at @ the bank, 940 Park Avenue, Meadville, PA.
The purpose of the group is to promote the hobby of model railroading through public outreach, demonstrations, historical research, and good fellowship. Activities will include: clinics, layout tours, field trips, railfanning, and of course, layout building.
We also are striving to encourage youth to get involved with this great hobby as well. With proper instruction on model building, and safely working with simple tools, we hope to build the next generation of model railroaders.
We are currently planning on building three model railroad layouts. They will be in the following scales: HO, TT, and N-scale. These layouts will be set-up for switching operations similar to the real railroads. The HO and N Scale layouts will also feature DCC control.
SOME COME, AND JOIN IN ON ALL OF THE FUN! You don't know what you are missing.
(NOTE: This group will be moderated to avoid spammers as much as possible. Discussions will be anything railroad related. You may post upcoming events, railroad items for sale, etc. As long as it has something to do with trains. Political views, cussing, and threats WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! Any violation of these simple rules will result in expulsion from the group.)
