We had the pleasure of visiting two layouts in the Cleveland area this year. The first was the Cleveland O Scale Model Railroad Club. They are housed in a cool looking building that almost looked like a freight house as we pulled up. They are a loose knit group that is more concerned with having fun and sharing the joys of model railroading than getting caught up in the BS of most clubs.

The railroad started out as a private railroad which they relocated to their location. They are in the process of expanding it to better utilize the available space in the building. The guys who were there that night were very friendly and are very passionate about the joy of operating their railroad.
