Complete Renovation of the Building was needed

Hard Work By all members produced Good Progress

All Interior walls were removed

A new floor was laid in the entire building

 Patcong Valley Model Railroaders  


 Our Layout in Richland is nearing the first phase of completed layout scenery for one of the last sections as of December 2010.

Thanks to the dedicated members that brought you the Old Patcong Valley layout on Fire Road in Egg Harbor Township NJ, and some new talented members as well; all of the mainline was running by September 2007. In December 2008 serious planning  was underway to finalize the scenery and the layout of the final section of the is nearing scenery completion. The last area to be constructed included a mountain/mine area and a harbor wharf area, with city nearby. Work on the last stages of scenery will take longer but will be underway as we progress with the track and layout construction in stages.

Keep an eye on this page for picture updates....Last update was December 2010.
Membership is limited at this time but we are always interested in hearing from scale modelers interested in joining a Scale Model Railroad club on the move into 2011....

 

An old Caboose has been placed in the Park next to our club in Richland on Rt. 40.
In the summer of 2007, another caboose was placed next to our building ino ur parking lot. We have the real thing and the scale thing!
Buena Vista Township has finished the Visitors Center which occupies part of the building our layout is located in. The room is a very accurate rendition of an old time railroad station waiting room with a ticket booth and other period items along with train related memorabilia. Great job Chuck !
