We invite you to visit us when you're in the Medford area and join our club if you'd like to get involved.
Our public run days are the second and fourth Sundays of the months from April through October from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Admission is FREE; donations are welcome.
Regular meetings include a board meeting on the second Wednesday of the month and a general membership meeting on the fourth Wednesday. These meetings start at 7:00 PM and are open to the public.
Regular work days are Saturdays from 10:00 AM until mid-afternoon.
Regular Operating Sessions have resumed! They're on the second Saturday of the month starting at 10:00 AM and lasting until... If you're experienced in prototype operating sessions, you're welcome to come join us as an operator. If you're new to operations, come join us as the engineer on a crew with an experienced conductor and learn how railroads operate -- it's not just trains running around in circles. And, if you just want to watch the fun, please drop on by.
Other days of the week often find members working on projects. If there's any of our members at the clubhouse, knock on the door and we'll give you a tour.
