On30 Layout

A freight passes through the On30 layout.

The club has always had a small group of modelers who have an interest in narrow gauge railroads.  In the 1980s, club member Ted Bossert built an On3 switching layout.  In the early 2000s, a number of members became interested in the growing On30 segment of the hobby.  On30 are O scale models which run on the same size track as HO scale.  At the time, Bachman began to introduce a line of models which brought more interest to this size and gauge model railroads.  A group of club members built a small dog bone shaped layout with a loop of track and began to build a highly detailed layout.  The layout was built higher than most of the other modular groups in the club which allowed viewers an eye level view of the railroad.
