[Kevinkrey]

Yesterday I took some photos at the Twin Cities Model Railroad Museum. There is on of a lloco they have outside on display. I would highly recomend anyone in the area to stop in. They have a large O scale layout in the old Como Roundhouse. Enjoy!

Great pictures of the layout Kevin! I've visited it many times. I'm especially impressed by that long riverside scene in your fifth photo. I see some signal lights in the picture. Its worth mentioning that they have working block control signals all over the layout.

I am also very impressed that they handlaid all the track, and there is a lot of track. Gives me ideas for my own turnouts.

Hey Ralph,
do you know of any other modelrailroad or even real railroad organizations in the area? The TCMRR says I cant join till 18 and the jackson street roundhouse never gets back to me. Me and my friend (Both 16) would like to join a club or something.
