Ohio - Cincinnati Model Railway Club
Cincinnati, OH - The Cincinnati Model Railway Club (CMRYC) was started in 1932 by a group of model railroaders in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. The Layout – In July, 2001 we started the process of moving into our new space and building a 2-rail O scale layout in the new spaces.
The mainline has 72” radius curves, leaving a large open space at any area the track turns back on itself, like at the end of a peninsula. An interest in logging and eastern mountain coal mining where money and space were very tight in the valleys of the Appalachians lead us to build the Harmony Creek & Southern branch line. It features very sharp curves (down to 36” radius), light track, steep grades, and poor maintenance that are characteristic of some of these small railroads. There was also interest in narrow gauge logging, so a space was designated for an On30 logging railroad that connects to the C&WV near East Epworth. There is no dual gauge track, but both narrow and standard gauge cars pick up finished lumber at the mill.

Ohio - Miami Valley S Gaugers (MVSG)
Southwest Ohio - The Miami Valley S Gaugers (MVSG) is an active S gauge modular club serving the Southwest Ohio area. The group currently has around 35 members, both AF collectors and operators, and S scale modelers. There are usually about 12 attending any given meeting. Many of the members' spouses are active in the group. The club was formed in 1985. After hauling modules around in our cars for many years, we eventually bought a small trailer, and later upgraded to a larger trailer. We are also incorporated. We generally meet once a month, rotating the meeting place among the members' houses, except for those months when we are setting up at a show.
