What's New

 

Rockville Centre Model Railroaders

Linwood
We have rebuilt the town of Linwood to incorporate greater switching capabilities as well improve scenery and lighting.
Some of the building lighting is still in the
process of being completed. Linwood should be ready in time for our Fall Open House in November.

Billsville
We are rebuilding the town to include a trolley line which will run between Billsville and the new passenger terminal facility being constructed in the interchange area.
Track has been laid on the main street with addtional scenery installed along the edge of town. Additional track and switches to be installed leading to the passenger terminal as well as the terminal itself.

Chemical plant and show loop.
A chemical plant has been installed adjacent to the interchange and our upper reversing loop. It will provide additional switching activity as well as scenic interest. The plant is switched off of a spur on our new show loop track. The show loop track enables us to run a train continuously on a closed loop of track during our open houses.
This provides additional activity to our visitors while in our club room's viewing area when mainline trains are elsewhere on the layout.
The show loop is now completely operational as of our Spring '99 Open House. We're in the process of completing additional scenery surrounding the loop tracks and the river area nearby.

Cab Room
In the past year we have reconstructed our cab room which features five operating cabs, a dispatcher's panel and a layout board which displays the block position of operating trains and switch positions for sidings, yard areas, interchanges, etc.
