Niagara Model Railroad Engineers Open House well-attended

Fenwick club packed the caboose Sunday afternoon

The cars were lined up outside 1141 Maple Street in Fenwick on Sunday afternoon, as the Greater Niagara Model Railroad Engineers opened their doors for a public showing. Plenty of kids were on hand, with parents and grandparents, to view the elaborate train setup of the Fenwick Central Railway (FC) at the club, a fictitious railroad replete with a network of tracks, tunnels, trestles, bridges, miniature towns, and natural scenery.

The railroad features 300 miles of track built to an HO scale of 1:87. Another open house will take place on Sunday, April 30, 12 noon until 4:30 PM. Fourteen year olds are eligible to become junior members. Club meetings are Wednesdays from 7 PM to 9:30 PM, and the public is always welcome to drop in.
