We paid a visit to the "2 Rail DC" Kingston Model RR Club, Inc. for the first time yesterday.  Located at 537 Broadway in Kingston, NY,  it was started in 1937 in the donated "NY Central Paint Shop" next to the tracks (was it on the right or wrong side?).  It grew into the space it is today by building 2 additions, which makes it over 120 feet by 25 feet (please correct me on that)!  It has a 4-Track Mainline and an ON3 Mountain Division in an extensive loop, as well as a Catenary Trolley System.

It is today maintained with the hard work and dedication of its members - and they need some more!   On Sunday, 3/23/2025 they will be at the Kingston Train Show (as will the Waste and Ruin TrainHaus), and anyone who wants to can see the layout in action and can walk to it - just one block away!

Enough Words!  Here are some pictures...

We watched the operation yesterday - that train in the background above had at least 50 cars behind a 3-engine lash-up!

Hope to see you at the Show!  And Happy O Gauge Railroading!
