Columbia, SC

We are open to the public any Thursday night at no charge: to provide advice on modeling to provide advice on servicing model trains to allow model train watching to allow public to run some of their trains We have layouts in all major scales: Little N Scale, Medium HO scale, Classic S scale, “Lionel” O scale, Big Garden G scale. And we have an open membership

Please stop by any* Thursday night, bring your kids of all ages, bring your trains,b ring your creativity ! vring your desire to be a model railroader .

We are here every Thursday night from 7:30pm. We will often give a throttle to our guest, especially young engineers, to run one of our trains themselves. We also generally allow guests of all ages to bring and run their own equipment, whether it’s a young fellow wanting to try his Thomas on the “big” layout, or a seasoned hobbyists trying out his newest masterpiece. If you have a train to try out, bring it down. If it doesn’t run right, usually we can help you find the problem.

We usually have members there who can answer many of your questions or offer suggestions about building your own empire. There is no charge for any of this.

Both our HO & N layouts are Digitrax® DCC and provide all the features for your DCC equipped locomotives. However, we have special provision to allow standard DC (analog) trains to operate (without using “zero stretch”).

PLEASE NOTE: the first Thursday of the month is our business meeting from 7:30pm to roughly 8:15pm. That will be boring so we do recommend a different night.

Join us in the worlds greatest hobby!
