What Makes PSMR Different?
- Operations - Our layout is designed, and being built, for operations. Everything from car routing to prototypical train operation is being planned for.
- We want members who are involved. You can just come and run trains, but we want members who will plan, create, and participate.
- State-of-the-Art - We use the North Coast Engineering DCC system to run our trains. We will also utilize this DCC system to interface with Signaling, Dispatching, and Route Control. We also are using and developing scenery techniques to produce the most realistic looking layout we can.
- Size - As of 1/1/10, we have 400' (over six scale miles) of mainline operational. When all mainline trackage is complete, it will comprise a possible mainline run of over 30 scale miles without running through the same scene. The layout is designed to have operational flexibility.
- RPM - PSMR closely follows the Railroad Prototype Modelers philosophy of modeling from the prototype. While not modeling any specific scenes, we use the prototype as an inspiration for designing, building, and operating our railroad.
- Access - As a regular (non-probationary) member, you have 24/7/365 access to the club.
- Share and learn with regular people who have a passion for railroads and model railroading.
