VP Mark Razny, Treasurer Dave Drenner, Secretary Len Sievert. Founded in 1979 as the Romeoville Model Railroad Association, we've been around for 43+ years. We are focused on HO-scale model railroading and are actively building a modular in-club layout based on Free-mo for easy expansion and changes, to include new ideas from members, and to keep things fresh. We participated in the 2010 and 2012 Free-mo layouts at the National Train Show and do joint setups with local groups like the Northwest Train Masters and Bolingbrook Model Railroad Club. Our club is the main organizer for two major shows each year: Old Canal Days in Lockport (typically Father's Day weekend) with a 125 X 25' layout and for the Southland Model Railroad Show at Richards High School (in the fall) with a multi-club, 70 X 125' layout. We work for a club experience by working together; sharing knowledge, helping members each other, and learning from members with different experiences and ideas. No need to be apprehensive about new technology or ideas; odds are someone has some applicable experience they would be willing to share or we can work together to figure it out! We are focused on operations-oriented sessions on our DCC-based modular layout using NCE DCC equipment. By using a modular approach, we keep our layout fresh and are able to easily accommodate new ideas and changes. There are always new modules being added from both new and existing members incorporating a wide variety of ideas, industries, track configurations, and operating possibilities. By working together, we feel we get more out of the hobby; are you getting the most out of your hobby time? Want to try and learn new things? Consider the Will County Model Railroad Association. We are also actively working with other clubs in the Chicago area to encourage, promote, and host multi-club events so that even larger groups of modelers can get together and increase our enjoyment of our hobby (keep an eye out for future events!).
