It's great to be back in 2012! Last weekend, RITMRC attended the Amherst Railway Society Train Show (www.railroadhobbyshow.com)! For many of us, this was our first time seeing a show of this magnitude. We would like to thank everyone who came up to say hello, and hope you enjoyed this show as much as we did. We look forward to attending this show next year, and certainly learned a lot for coming back next year!

More info on Tiger Tracks 2012 will be coming in the future!

Happy Holidays from RITMRC!

Happy Holdiays from all of us at the RIT Model Railroad Club! We would like to thank all of our recent supporters of this year's 6th annual Tiger Tracks! Next year's date has been determined to be December 8th and 9th, 2012. More details will be forthcoming in the next few months. Just a reminder, our club is on holiday break from December 19th through January 9th, so we will be unavailable by phone until then. Our next scheduled meeting will be during RIT's 5th academic week on Tuesday in mid-January. We hope everyone has a great holiday season and we hope the new year is full of good things! See everyone in 2012!

Thanks To All Who Came Out To Tiger Tracks This Year!

Last trolley and train rides at the Museum this Sunday, October 30... Only five miles from RIT are the New York Museum of Transportation and the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. Together they team up to provide the only trolley and train ride combo in the state! Board the trolley at NYMT, then transfer at Midway to a diesel train operated by R&GVRRM to complete your trip. See exhibits about local railroading at both ends. Tickets are $8.00 each, and are good for rides and visits at both museums.
