Greater Grand Forks Train Club Information
Located in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, USA
The Greater Grand Forks Train Club is building a large HO scale layout in our club on the north side of East Grand Forks, MN. We have decommissioned the old layout to make way for something even bigger and better.
Our layout will be DCC equipped using Digitrax command stations and boosters, duplex wireless, and is also equipped with stationary decoders for turnout control. We are currently working to get detection circuits completed with a goal of working signalling. You can see an engineer's view of our HO scale layout here.
Most members bring equipment from home to run on the layout. JMRI allows us to easily speed match and consist locomotives along with any other programming needs.
We also have a shop area for working on rolling stock and locomotives and enough room for us to drink coffee and have our monthly meetings. We are thankful for all that current and past members have contributed to get the club to where it is today and look forward to sharing with other modelers who live in or are passing through the area.
