The Metro East Model Railroad Club's HO scale layout is
located in Glen Carbon, IL.
The layout is 18'6" wide by 27'6" long and has
roughly 1000' of track on several levels.
It includes a freight yard, a
passenger yard, and a staging yard. The upper level features
a depiction of the
Glen Carbon area in the 1940's . The lower levels feature the club's fictitious
'Glen Carbon Central' Railroad, a large steel mill, and a coal mine. To find out more
information about the 'Glen Carbon Central' visit the links in the menu (above).
The Club currently has several on-going projects designed to clean-up
and upgrade their layout to complete its conversion to full DCC control and to improve
its over-all operation. See our current and future project list at:
our Project List.
