TSMRI was having their monthly open house so we were able to go inside the depot and get a look at their layout. The first thing I have to say about this model railroad club is how friendly everyone was. As soon as we piled out of our car we were greeted by one of the members. As we walked through the door another member said hello and began talking about the club. Walked to the layout and more members said hello.
Another member further explained how their layout seeks to represent the "Old Line" around 1952. The layout itself occupies a space about 22' x 37' that was once the freight side of the depot. It has around 200' of HO gauge track.
We spent a bit over an hour chatting with the members and looking at their fantastic layout. I actually wish they were a bit closer to home as I would probably join this group. We all felt very welcomed and enjoyed every minute of our visit. Check out their website for the calendar of when they are open. We will be back.
