We are located in Northeastern Ohio, with Youngstown being centered between most of our members. We have members as far South as East Liverpool, North to Warren, West to Akron, and East to Hubbard.
The overall size of the layout is 19 feet wide by 34 feet long. We have four loops (O63, O72, O81, O90) which gives us the capability of running four trains at the same time. The layout is cab (throttle) controlled. The four loops are powered by two MTH Z-4000. Each MTH Z-4000 has two cabs, with 200 watts per cab. With the addition of the MTH Z-4000 Remote System we can remotely control track voltage. This allows us to move around the layout and control the engines using the hand-held remote. Since we do not have to man the transformer cabs we can mingle with the public and allow them to run the trains on these loops. A Lionel ZW with two 135 watt PowerMasters, and an MTH Z-750 are available as spares.
We have set up at various train shows throughout the local area. We also we have set up for local elementary schools, shopping centers/malls, and community functions. Pictures of our previous shows can be found on the gallery page.
The Traveling Boxcar visited us on September 18, 2004.
