The West Central Model Railroad Club is located at 805 Clifton St. in Sparta, Wisconsin. We are an HO scale, permanent layout club located in our own building, right next to the Canadian Pacific (Formerly Soo Line <formerly Milwaukee Road>) mainline between Chicago and St. Paul. We purchased the building in the fall of 1987 and started building the layout in 1988.


The West
Central Model Railroaders own their own 1500 sq. ft. building and have
an elaborate HO scale model railroad nearing completion. Over 7
scale
miles of mainline trackage has already been constructed, featuring city
scenes with industry and railyards, country scenes with hills and
rivers,
and mountain scenes with tunnels and trestles.
Our
membership
is open to people of all ages interested in model railroading who would
like to be a part of the development of this exciting project. We
are eager to welcome anyone who is willing to contribute time and
talent
to this task. There are many opportunities for working on scenery
construction, electrical connections, track laying, model building, and
of course locomotives and rolling stock. The more members we can
recruit, the sooner the layout can be finished and realistic operation
can begin.
The
club
has about 10 members and is always looking for more members, both
adults
and junior members. We have monthly
dues
of $25 for adults and $10 for junior members. We meet at the club
house every Monday and Thursday, starting at around 7:30. We have
a running night every third Saturday of the Month. We plan to
have
operating sessions in the future.
