BOULDER MODEL RAILROAD
CLUB
The Boulder Model
Railroad Club (BMRC)
is based in Boulder County and serves members in
Boulder, Broomfield, Adams, Jefferson Counties and
beyond in Colorado. Club meetings are held on the
3rd Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM and visitors
are always welcome. The venue is the Elk's Lodge,
located at 525 Main Street in Louisville, in the
"old part of town".
Members and guests meet at a local restaurant around
5:30 or 6:00 p.m. for an optional dinner
beforehand. Consult our meeting schedule page for
up-to-date information. For more information,
please visit our web site at
www.bouldermodelrailroadclub.org
The club is not focused
around a club layout. However, in 2008, the club
acquired a ‘N’ scale layout that is approximately 3’
by 5’ for the primary purpose of exhibiting at model
train shows and other exhibitions which specifically
promote membership in the
BMRC
and generally promote interest in the hobby of model
trains.
BMRC ‘N’ SCALE CLUB LAYOUT
Our ‘N’ scale layout
features two mainlines (a ‘lower’ and an ‘upper’)
which give us the ability to run up to two trains
continuously. We have a little of everything for
the visitor to the layout. Along with the high-level
of detail on the layout and structures, we also have
numerous lighting (street and building) that draws a
lot of interest for visitors viewing our layout. In
addition to the two mainlines, there are two
sidings, plus an extremely short mountain top mining
line. Power and control of trains is via a DC
analog power transformer.
And, here is a digital photo taken at
a recent exhibition:
