Greater Grand Forks Train Club The Facebook home of the Greater Grand Forks Train Club. We are on the grounds of Heritage Village. The club was established in 1987.

We are open the first and third Saturday of each month from 10 AM to 2 PM. We started out with a modular layout, which was set up in various available locations. In the early 1990's we found a home in a downtown Grand Forks Mall. That ended with the flood of 1997. After the flood the club was awarded a $10,000 grant to relocate. Additional donations allowed the purchase of two buildings and their relocation to the present location on the ground of Heritage Village in East Grand Forks. This building was named Casey Holt Junction, after the son of a club member who had died in a tragic accident. The current 26 by 58 building is a replica of a train station and includes a 17 by 32 train room, housing a large HO scale layout. We are lucky to have the facility we have, and enjoy visitors and are always looking for new members. You can visit on the first or third Saturday of the month between 10 AM and 2 PM. If those times don't work for you, contact us through Facebook messenger or the contact form on our website to arrange a different time.

One of the visitors to our club during last weekend's swap meet was Jeremiah. He brought these exquisitely detailed NW5's, which he built up from resin parts, for a test run. They operated flawlessly! Thank you Jer for letting us see these run around the layout.

Come and get your N scale track, rolling stock, and locos! Some with sound and DCC!
