TCD

Twin Cities Division

Welcome!

See the meetings page for 2009/2010 meetings. See Cal Swenson if you have a clinic you would like to present for the 2009/2010 season. See below for information on the change in location to the Jackson Street Roundhouse for this season.

Video recordings of past clinics can be seen online here.

And, we are beginning to deliver the Crossing Gate in electronic format. Please let Walt Thompson know if you are interested in receiving the CG in this format. Past copies of the Crosing Gate can be seen on the CG page.

If you live in the greater Twin Cities area, if you're interested in model railroading, and if you'd like to meet other people who share that same interest, you've come to the right place!

Each month — usually on the second Thursday from October through May — we get together for modeling clinics, prototype railroad presentations, and open discussion.

Visitors are always welcome! See our "Why Join" and "Sign Up" pages.

News Flashes:

Next meeting is October 8, 2009, 7:00 pm sharp!! This meeting will feature the ever popular Neil Hovind, "The Building Guy.".

The meetings page has been updated for the clinics/contests for the 2009/2010 season.

Please note, we have changed locations to the Jackson Street Roundhouse.
