St. Charles
Model Railroad Club
CLUB INFO
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to enjoy the hobby of Model Railroading in a group setting and by doing so promote the hobby to the general public. In particular as stated in the club’s constitution our purpose is “to enhance the enjoyment of the hobby for the members through the discussion of history and current events in the hobby, through the study of prototype railroads so that the members may apply that knowledge to their modeling, and to provide a forum where new ideas and techniques in modeling may be explored. Further, to advance the hobby, through demonstration, by educating the interested public so that they may also become members and enjoy the hobby.”
Our History
Our club was founded in 1981 with four members. In the beginning and up to 2003 it was an HO modular club. The current layout is the traditional permanent type.
