The Mon-Yough Valley Railroad is a 1:87 [HO] scale manifestation that artistically encapsulates southwestern Pennsylvania life during the 1950's. The current layout is in transition between what was semi-permanently constructed between 1987 and 1991, and an entirely new design that will include slightly less 'main line running', and considerably more operational possibilities. The timetable is directly affected by size - and level of participation by - the membership, both which have been in a state of flux since the club's inception. The original estimate continues to be our target completion date: November, 2018. The reconstruction began in August 2009. It is suspended for 6-8 weeks per year for various reasons, and is approximately 90% complete regarding new track and wiring, and about 60% complete regarding new scenery; 99% of both will eventually be completely changed. Our continued existence partly depends on public visits during the holiday season, requesting nominal cash donations from our visitors ages 5 and up [5-17...$2; 18+ $4]. Your visit during our Open House helps ensure the future of our club, especially the future of the model railroad itself.
