Welcome To   The Cumberland Valley Model Railroad Club

 

 

All Aboard !!!

                

                                     

 

In 1996 a small group of railroad enthusiasts recognized the need for a club in the Chambersburg area, thus in April of that year the Cumberland Valley Model Railroad Club was founded. The club derived its name from the Cumberland Valley Railroad. The Cumberland Valley Railroad's headquarters, which was located in Chambersburg served the Cumberland Valley from 1836 until its demise in 1919.  For more history on the CVRR, click here: http://d_cathell.tripod.com/cvrrmain.html

                                    About the club:        

                                     You've seen the rest - Now see the BEST & Go Tell everyone!

We operate the following  scales - Standard - O - O27-. On3.- HO and N & Z..We even have an operating LEGO layout! Go back in time to see Jurassic Park. The little ones will love our new Thomas layout and friends Lady, James, Gordon and Percy.    We now also have Emily!!!  Latest addition is DONALD & DOUGLAS!

 We have over 3700 pieces of rolling stock.  1207 on the tracks and 2500 on display.  There's 909 square feet of HO, 501 of O and 120 of N. There are 35 gauge miles of HO track, 8- O scale miles and 10- N gauge miles.G gauge is under construction we have engines running a complete oval above your head when you walk in the door. The work is still in progress.

 If you are in town or have relations/friends/neighbors you are welcome to bring them into the club to browse. Most of them return for the Christmas shows with even more people.
