We are a group of people in the greater Fort Myers, Florida area who are interested in Model Railroading.  We have among our membership people with a wide range of experience in modeling, from beginners to Master Modelers.  We are constantly working to improve our HO, HOn3 and N Scale layouts. We are always open to new members.

Hurricane Ian Update:
Several members had storm damage.  Roof leads repaired.  Increasing the size of the AC ducts from the system on the roof to the ducts in the building have made a big difference.  Next we will increase the fan speed when the shrouds are installed.  Still some gutter and down spout work to do.  New metal AC shrouds on order.
