The club is always looking for new places to display the modular layout. Most of our displays are at organized model railroad shows in southern New England, however we have also brought our display to various community events in Connecticut and Rhode Island as well as shows as far away as Pennsylvania. In addition, we have worked with commercial shopping centers to set up layouts around Christmas time in vacant store fronts to help draw people to the shopping center.
We currently have three operating modular layouts – our biggest is the HO layout and followed by our G scale layout. We also have a small O scale layout. Since the layouts are modular, they can be arranged in a variety of shapes (oval, L, and U) as well as sizes and can fill areas as small as 8′x8′ to as large as 42′x72′. It generally takes 3-8 hours to set up the layout and 2-3 hours to break down after the show.
If you are interested in having the Mohegan Pequot Model Railroad Club bring its layout to your event, feel free to send us an email and include potential dates, location, and size layouts requested. Since the club is an all volunteer organization, we do need some lead time to properly plan and commit to bringing a layout to a display. In addition, we usually request a small donation to help offset some of the costs associated with bringing the layout to a display.
