Torrington Area Model Railroaders

On Friday we marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of Conrail with Conrail night at the club.

We initially invited people to come and run their Conrail trains, and then decided to welcome everyone to run whatever they liked.

Conrail was famous for patch outs early on, so we did some patching too.

Thanks to everyone who came out. It was a lot of fun.

What railroad should we celebrate next?

In the photos and video: A former LV RS3, patched to Conrail, passes a UP Big Boy, also patched to Conrail.

We did some patching to the Big Boy.

We have a special event coming up on Friday, April 3 from 3 to 9 p.m.

We are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of Conrail on April 1, 1976 with a special Conrail Night.

Join as we operate Conrail power and trains on our HO layout.

All are welcome.

And bring along a DCC powered HO loco or train if you’d like. Wr’ll try to run it.

We are at 58 Lewis St. in Torrington.

Here we are at Kid's on Track! Displaying HO & N scales.
We will be here today and tomorrow!
