Winter Clinics

Every winter Scale Rails of South West Florida conducts clinics which are open to the Public. These clinics are held at our clubhouse, the Depot, starting at 10:00am and lasting about 1 - 1 1/2 hours on Saturdays, and are free of charge. Clinics, which are conducted by club members, cover many elements of model railroading and are intended to introduce people to some techniques for doing various aspects of modeling. Many of our members got their start by attending these clinics.

N-Scale Layout

The Club has finished rebuilding our N-scale modular layout so that it meets NTRAK standards. It is set up in the front room of the Depot. Basic scenery is finished, but lots more is needed. Member Dan Cermak has built and donated to the Club two 6 foot modules with standard and intricate switching track, as well as lots of buildings. He also has built two basic end pieces. These modules are now fully functional and sceniced. Dwight Sedgwick led a project to create a switching puzzle layout attached to the main NTRAK configuration. The scenery and buildings were just completed. The NTRACK team is now working to complete two more six foot modules over the next few months.
