Little "Q" was founded in 1958. It is located in Aurora, Illinois, and has been sponsored by the Fox Valley Park District since 1963.

Our current layout is the second one at this location. Construction was begun in 1974, although the design has been heavily modified over the years. Click here to see more.

Since the late 1970s, our portable layout has been entertaining and educating people throughout the midwest, drawing many newcomers into the hobby and the club. Click here for a detailed description of the portable layout.

The next event for our portable layout will be the Great Midwest Train Show on April 14, 2002.

Check our show schedule to find out when the portable will be appearing at a show near you.

Visitors are always welcome. Our address is 517 North Union Street, Aurora, Illinois, in the Copley 2 Recreation Center. (Please do not mail anything to this address -- we will not get it.) Membership is always open. For more information, email the webmaster, David, or the president, Mike, or call Mike at (630) 897-6513. You can also call the club directly at (630) 898-7500 only during our regular hours, Thursday and Saturday, 7-11 p.m. (actually, don't call before 8 on Thursday).

Many of our members also shoot slides and video of real trains, and show them at the club. Some of their work can be found in our new photo gallery. The gallery also includes additional model photos.
