Will County Model Railroad Association
Founded in 1979 as the Romeoville Model Railroad Assoc, we've been around
for 30+ years.
We are focused on HO-scale model railroading and are actively building a
modular in-club layout based on Free-mo; this will permit easy expansion
and changes, new ideas from members, and keep things fresh. We
participated in the 2010 Free-mo layout at the National Train Show and
actively do joint setups with other local groups like the Northwest Train
Masters and Bolingbrook Model Railroad Club.
We strive for a club experience by working together; sharing knowledge,
helping members reach their modeling goals, and learning from members with
different experiences and ideas. No need to be apprehensive about new
technology or ideas; odds are someone has some applicable experience they
would be willing to share or we can work together to figure it out!
We are also actively working with other clubs in the Chicago area to
encourage, promote, and host inter-club events for even larger groups of
modelers can get together and increase our enjoyment of our hobby (keep an
eye out for future events on this topic!).
Our club is in Elwood (just south of Joliet) at the SW corner of IL Route
53 and Millsdale Rd (23954 S. Chicago St - south of the race tracks / just
north of Mr. B's). Our modules are usually located there an this is where
we setup for normal operating and working sessions.
Times are Tue/Thurs 7-10 and Sun 12-5 (approx). Meetings and modeling
clinics on the 2nd Tues starting at 7:30PM.
Visitors and new members are always welcome!
