What a fantastic model railroad to visit. The older section of the layout has completed scenery. All of the scenes are reminiscent of towns all over North Jersey. The newer expansion of the layout is a work in progress. A massive undertaking of this size takes time to build to a high standard of quality. The members of this club don’t take short cuts to “just get the job done”. They want to show the public the best practices of how to build an amazing model railroad… and enjoy the process. I’m excited to see what the future brings! Until the next time I see the club… Keep model railroading!!

Unfinished and drab looking

An excellent model railroad to visit. The club does Open Houses every Saturday and the price of admission is pretty reasonable. The club has two model railroads, one in N scale and another in HO scale. The HO scale model is not entirely but most of the railroad is complete and it's spectacular. If anything, the unfinished section underscores the immense amount of work and time needed to build a model railroad. Well worth the visit.

Fun place both for driving the trains and for building things. There is such a depth of knowledge in the guys here if you want to listen and learn. They are greatly expanding their track layout in a very complex long term building project which people can participate in constructing for years (or decades) to come.

I recently acquired a large collection of Model Railroad magazines. What would be the best way to sell these? I have six large boxes. I have not gone through them but it looks like some go back into the 50s.

The best way to sell them is on eBay. Group the magazines into lots and indicate what is in what lot and they might sell there.

I have model railroader magazines from the 50's to 2015. Are you interested?

Raymond. We do not accept magazines as a donation. We have more than enough, cannot use them, and cannot give them away. Thank you for considering making a donation to the club.
