Saunders Middle School

Again this year, the Prince William Model Railroad Club will be part of the big train show put on by Boy Scout Troop 964.  With a lot of help, we will build the largest HO modular layout in the mid-Atlantic region.  More than 130 HO modules will fill the gymnasium with more than 17 miles of mainline track.  You can see many trains running at the same time with full digital control and radio dispatching.  There will be several layouts in G, O, S, HO, N, Z and LEGO.  There will be merit badge workshops all day and model railroad clinics for adults (schedule below).  There will be refreshments and door prizes.  On the big HO layout, we will feature the "Scout Train" with cars the Scouts have built in previous years and cars built in the merit badge workshops during the show.
The clinic schedule is below...for more clinic info, click here.
