The SMRC operates an Ho scale, dcc layout in the Washington park pavilion. We meet on Thursday nights 6-10. All are welcome to visit and join.
Today on the STRA SBL-2 (Southbound local return) heads north toward Springfield. A high hood NS GP38-2 leads the short train today’s as it emerges from the tunnel and motivates up hill. This train is the return section of the Southbound local that runs between Springfield and Alton. The crew has one more stop on its journey at the plastics plant outside Springfield before returning home.

A newly acquired STRA GP38-2 took its maiden voyage around the railroad last night on the south bound local. The STRA geeps interrupted the dominance of SP power working the railroad last night.

I was commissioned by the Union Pacific to make a retirement piece for a 35 year employee. They had very specific asks, and a fairly short time frame. I think they’ll like it. Now I’ve gotta get this boxed up and sent off to Roseville, CA.
