D.A.R.E. Model Railroad Club in Pittsburgh Open House TONIGHT! (12/2 and 12/3) | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Good day folks,

My old model railroad club, the D.A.R.E. Model Railroad Club of Venetia, PA, is having its annual holiday open house over two days.

Friday: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Saturday: 9 AM - 12 PM

The club is located on the top floor of the old Peters Township grade school: 800 Venetia Road, Venetia, PA 15367. There is a stairlift available, if you want to visit and need the lift, reach out at my email in my profile so I can let them know you're coming and at what time.

It's been a while since I've taken any pictures or video, but I have a few samples from past open houses and visits below. The club has multiple layouts in O, HO, N, S, and G scales, ranging from postwar American Flyer and HO steel mill dioramas to full-size creations of the Montour Railroad and room-sized O scale.

There's also usually some Krispy Kreme and HO trains for sale to help the club, and the event is coordinated with with the town's light-up night: community-center-currents.html

I won't be there (gas is too expensive to go home from Virginia for the weekend), but I hope you'll stop by!

The D.A.R.E. club does great work. I hope folks will come out, see the layout, and support them.
