Michigan - Roscommon Historic Model Train Club
Roscommon, MI - The Roscommon Historic Model Train Clubs mission is to educate and promote public interest in the building and operation of model trains. We are committed in promoting fellowship of our members, as well as creating public awareness of the fun and excitement associated with this great hobby.
There are currently displays of N, H.O., S, O, and G scale trains in the clubhouse. The 1.5" scale ride-on track layout was completed in spring 2012. The train was donated to the club by local residents and we are recently completed the rebuilding of the locomotive and rolling stock. The gas powered locomotive was rebuilt during the cold weather months this past winter and now has a hydraulic drive system.
