In 1982 a small group of model railroad hobby enthusiasts joined together to form the
Winchester Model Railroad Club. Their goal was to mutually pursue what would
become referred to as the "Greatest Hobby in the World".
This website contains a brief history of what that
year pursuit has accomplished. We discuss our original formation to the building
of our current layout today. By the way, our current layout is under construction. We
invite any of you … from the die-hard model railroad hobbyist who has been unaware of the
Club's existence to the eager amateur that might just be thinking of constructing
your first layout … to come and join us!!
Our prior clubhouse was located in the old CSX Freight Building near downtown
Winchester Virginia in the northern Shenandoah Valley.
We are currently planning the construction of a new clubhouse in Middletown, VA.
Our meeting schedule:
•The club meets each Tuesday (weather permitting). Holidays
are handled as they come along; we use emails and Facebook to communicate
schedule updates. Current we hold our monthly business on the second
Tuesday of each month. Meetings are held at 6:00 to 8:00 each
Tuesday. New members are always welcome; however, they may not
participate in any voting.
Our open house schedule:
At our old location we held several open houses per year. Since we are under construction
we have postponed these, but we look forward to doing them as soon as
possible. More detials are to come.

This is the original station at Middletown.

Our new home will have a similar appearance.
