| Buffalo Model Railroad Club
 Buffalo 
										New York USA
 
										Our club layouts have seen significant 
										changes as a result of work on the 
										building the layout is located in. This 
										is a good thing and has provided us the 
										opportunity to make some changes. Our 
										next open house should be an interesting 
										one for both returning and new visitors 
										alike! In the mean time, if you're 
										interested in joining the club, there's 
										never been a better time since parts of 
										the layout are being rebuilt from the 
										bench work on up! 
										The extensive HO Layout is single track 
										with passing sidings and is equipped 
										with DCC. The railroad is designed for 
										realistic operation with dispatcher 
										issued block occupancy permission via 
										two way radios. Several yards, branch 
										lines and industries add diversity to 
										the lengthy point to point mainline run. 
										Industries include steel, coal, lumber, 
										power, chemicals and grain. Three large 
										staging yards provide a bountiful source 
										of different trains for rail fanning 
										variety out on the main line. 
										The O scale layout occupies a 20' x 25' 
										area and will include On3 Narrow Gauge 
										and Standard Gauge Freight and Traction. 
										The 3' gauge line will serve a coal 
										mine. The Standard Gauge line has been 
										expanded with a longer mainline run and 
										interchanges freight with the 3 foot 
										line. The Traction runs trolleys from a 
										small city to a lakeside resort area. 
										Scenery represents an Appalachian 
										setting with heavily forested hills. 
										Steam powered trains predominate on the 
										Narrow Gauge and wooden interurban are 
										powered from the overhead trolley wire. |
