Did You Know? This caboose was donated to the Denver HO Model Railroad Club and sees everyday use on our trains. 🚂

While much of the equipment on the layout is purchased by the club, a fair share of items are donated each year and put to use on the club layout. We accept donations of any scale, and HO and HOn3 are the primary scales we model. Our club members are modelers in every scale from N to G!

We also work with other local model railroad organizations to ensure all donated items are put to good use.

Any questions? Feel free to message us!

Happy Modeling!

Fireman Fred sure is in the holiday spirit this year! While stopped in the siding, he went forging for a Christmas tree. Apparently it was an extended wait, as he even decorated it.

From all of us at the Denver HO Model Railroad Club, Happy Holidays! We wish you a wonderful time filled with the joy of the season. 🎄🎅🏻🎁

Last weekend YOUTH in MODEL RAILROADING stopped by to visit the Denver HO Model Railroad Club as part of their day trip to the Colorado Railroad Museum! Club members brought groups of kiddos and their parents back to take a behind-the-scenes look at the layout and operations. It was truly wonderful to see so many youth interested in the hobby and a pleasure to show them around the layout and answer their many great questions.

Thanks to everyone for stopping by!

Are you looking at a real Union Station in a major city or a scene on a model railroad? The answer might surprise you—it’s a model!

You’ve probably seen the large Placer Union Station during normal visiting hours, but when the lights go out it really comes to life! You can almost hear the hustle and bustle of passengers and baggage carts clattering across the platform as they rush to catch their train.

Come see us and all the action on the Denver HO Model Railroad Club layout. We’re normally onsite Tuesdays and Saturdays each week, but the layout is visible and operational via coin box every day.

Be sure to stop by to say hi and happy railroading! 🚂

Virtual Layout Tour - Holley Park:

Holley Park represents a small carnival park like many of the small carnivals and circuses that traveled from town to town. Everyone loved the miniature railroad, Farris wheel, carousel and side shows offered.

You can operate the carnival by inserting a quarter into the respective coin box and watch as all of the rides come to life!

Virtual Layout Tour - Placer Yard:

Placer Yard contains three distinct areas: a passenger terminal; a freight classification yard, and a locomotive servicing area. The engine servicing area features a turntable and roundhouse, coaling tower, sanding tower, water tower and diesel fueling area. In the yard, freight cars are received and assembled into trains which travel across the railroad. The largest passenger station on the railroad also calls Placer Yard home, and can be viewed at the far end of the yard.
