Mifflin County Model Railroad Club.

First picture is from the Ho side of the club with a scene of the Lewistown Train Station.

Here is the turntable just West of the station.

This is a small representation of the Harbison-Walker Brick Yard with the East Broad Top providing service to it. Harbison-Walker was once the World's largest manufacturer of silica brick. They had two plants across from each other in Mount Union, Pa.

Here is another photo depicting the East Broad Top. This is a fantasy scene with the narrow gauge up on the side of the mountain.

Here is a scene of the Rockville Bridge. Pardon the mess in the middle of the Susquahanna River.  We were in the process of getting ready for the show and some items found there way into the middle of the river. The bridge was made with each arch being poured into a plaster mold and then pieced together to form the bridge.

I have to depart for the time being. When I get back I will post some photos from the O gauge side. For the time being, Thank you everybody;

This train was donated by our late member Ed Forsythe. It is made from the Tyco flat cars that came in about every set at one time. Upgraded with metal wheels and axles and KD Couplers. the weathering really sets the train off from just being a cheap Tyco car.

Here is a scene from the O gauge side of the club. I will have to take some more photos tonight. Most of the photos I had are one the hard drive of my computer that burned up last Thursday. Member Jeff Jacobs made a Disney train. Some of these characters cost up to $20.00 apiece.

Here is one of the cars featuring Alice in Wonderland.

Here is the power for the Santa Train.

At 10:00 this morning we had the Mifflin County School Elementary Kids visit. Seeing the faces of the children as they walked through the O-gauge room is a very special experience. It makes all the hard work of keeping the club up and running all that much more special. There must have been a couple hundred kids come through. I believe some of the teachers enjoyed it as much or more than some of the kids. Unfortunately I cannot post the photos that I took of the children due to the complexity of the legal issues with getting a release and permission from all of the parents.

Just finished up with our Saturday evening show. It went well with 2000 people through the door. Donations and raffle ticket sales were decent. I got to take a few photos after the crowd was gone. Here are a few.

Three members of the club posed for this shot. Bill Litzenger on the left, Dave Taylor in the middle, And Dick Stimely on the right. Dick has been active for 50 years. He was just recently awarded for his 50th years of public support by the Pennsylvania State Legislature. Bill is one of our newer members and works with the HO side of the club. Dave works on the O gauge portion and is responsible for a lot of the O gauge scenery. I apologize if I spelled Bill's name wrong.

Another shot showing the Disney train with a good overall few of the O gauge layout.

The train passing from left to right on the outside lower loop is 2-rail scale running on MTH Scaletrax wired for 2-rail operations.

The lower tracks have elevated curves.
