We are focused on HO-scale model railroading and are actively building a modular in-club layout based on Free-mo for easy expansion and changes, to include new ideas from members, and to keep things fresh. We participated in the 2010 Free-mo layout at NTS (and plan to be in Grand Rapids in 2012!) and do joint setups with local groups like the Northwest Train Masters and Bolingbrook Model Railroad Club.

We work for a club experience by working together; sharing knowledge, helping members each other, and learning from members with different experiences and ideas. No need to be apprehensive about new technology or ideas; odds are someone has some applicable experience they would be willing to share or we can work together to figure it out!

We are also actively working with other clubs in the Chicago area to encourage, promote, and host multi-club events for even larger groups of modelers can get together and increase our enjoyment of our hobby (keep an eye out for future events on this topic!).

Our club is in Elwood (just south of Joliet) at the SW corner of IL Route 53 and Millsdale Rd (23954 S. Chicago St - south of the race tracks / just north of Mr. B's).

Times are Tue/Thurs 7-10 and Sun 12-5 (approx). Meetings and modeling clinics on the 1st Tues starting at 7:30PM.

Visitors and new members are always welcome!

Next Event: Swap Meet Apr 15, 2012
