The Amarillo Railroad Museum, Inc.
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The Amarillo Railroad Museum, Inc. began as a group of model railroaders in the 1960's who decided it was time to build a big layout! Originally known as the Amarillo Model Railroad Association, the original club met in the multi-story basement of the old Harvey House restaurant located in the Santa Fe Railroad passenger depot in Amarillo, Texas. Featuring an HO island-style layout near 30'x 40', this early effort featured hand laid brass rail on Tru-Scale milled wood roadbed, all screwed to heavy wooden risers. The turnouts were also all Tru-Scale, with moveable frogs.
