Model Railroad Museum Tour

March 11, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Model Railroad Museum Tour Join us on Saturday March 11, 2023, from 9 AM to 12 noon for a personalized tour of the Museum and especially the model railroad. The GATSME Model Railroad Museums mission is to educate the public on the art and history of model railroading, and how the real railroads had a large impact on the development of our region. The museum and model railroad are currently located in Rockledge, PA, in the “Old Mill” building at the corner of Montgomery and Sylvania Aves. The layout is set circa 1950, with a good mix of steam and diesel locomotives. The theme is based on the Schuylkill Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad with plans for expansion to include local branches of the Reading Railroad. The layout is constantly growing and there is plenty of rail operation. Areas under construction provide an opportunity to see stages of scenery, track and roadbed techniques, wiring and electronic (DCC) train control. Club members will be around to answer any questions. ** Space is limited to 20 persons. Bldg: Rockledge Model Railroad Museum, 323 Montgomery Avenue, Rockledge, Pennsylvania, United States, 19406
