We meet every Wednesday Night at 7:30 pm
for Work and Fun at 103 State Street,
Delmar,DE.
Come and join us. The Entrance is through the Red Door next to
the Alley and then Up Stairs.

Our Tinplate layout consists of three of loops of
three-rail track.
(Lower level) Trains that are running during the open house
during the holiday season typify the Lionel layouts that were popular
in the big department stores in the 1950's, but on a smaller scale.
Trains consist of original Lionel vintage equipment.
The G scale loop can be
seen on
the green shelf near the ceiling. A G scale train circles the
entire room.
There is also a
"Christmas"
layout that the children enjoy. It features Thomas the Tank
Engine and Friends.

The Tinplate layout (on the
lower level) and the Standard gauge loop (on the upper level).
Thomas the Tank Engine is very
popular with small children who visit during the holiday open house.
