Barron County Model Railroad Club is an Open group of people who love trains, model railroads and to tinker endlessly.

We meet once a month at a members house. We go to train shows in Wisconsin, Minnesota and even as far as Sioux Falls sometimes.

We have a large train setup that is in modules which are hauled in a trailer. It takes about a half hour to set up and take down.


Hello fellow club members and welcome to the November 2022 newsletter.

With October out of the way, I'm hoping it was a good month for us and thank you for those who were in attendance at the Eau Claire show and the FFA Alumni 2022 Toy Show in Turtle Lake, plus a special thank you to Terry Fry who came by at the Toy Show in Turtle Lake to see us. As Arlyn mentioned in his email he sent to us in reminder of this Sunday's club meeting at the Cameron Community Center at 2pm. He also mentioned about The Great Train Show in Shakopee, Minnesota this weekend as well. So, with that all said, here is the remaining events and club meetings to continue our season.
