WHY I JOINED A MODEL RAILROAD CLUB
WHO ARE THE Lone Star Hi Railers
* We are one of the largest Model Train Clubs in North Texas
* Our home is Grapevine, Texas
* We sponsor one of the largest model train shows in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex called "TRAIN-A-PALOOZA" twice a year in December and March
* The City of Grapevine, Texas gives us a Southern #771 Steam locomotive with a Barnum Bailey's 70 ft baggage car that we have a 65' layout in it for the club members and the general public to run "O" gauge model trains.
* We also have a 12' x 28' model train layout in the Grapevine Visitor's Center on Main St., Grapevine, Texas for the public to run trains
* Each year we set up a 12' x 21' modular "O" gauge layout at the Depot in Grapevine, Texas for 10 days in October for the "DAY OUT WITH THOMAS" event to run trains for the public.
* Our membership currently is 80 members strong that volunteer for special events like the North Texas Council Railroad Club's Plano Train Show twice a year in September and January in Plano, Texas.
* We have built our third modular layout to present at special events. This layout is state of the art construction using techniques that present itself for mobility transportation.
* Our Board of DIrectors have a mindset of "THE FUTURE and BEYOND"
* As President of the Lone Star Hi-Railers, I invite you to come see our layout and run trains in the baggage car on Saturdays and Sundays located at 410 W. Dallas St., Grapevine, Texas.
