Welcome To The Cumberland Valley Model Railroad Club
Chambersburg-Pennsylvania
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 !!!!

This causes tremendous catasrophies let alone
it is a major job to sort out.
Supervise your children !!
Please refrain from touching the layouts! If you
break it - you PAY to replace it. Some things are
not replaceable.
Watch your children please. No Running!

If you are helping at the shows, please try
and remember when the show is over on
the sunday its not time to leave.
Some of the vendors need help too.
The club tables all have to be packed away,
The shelves all torn down and packed up.
Then both rooms need to be put back the
way they were for Bingo.
Trash all has to be done, floors mopped etc.
This takes good strong guys to do this.
There are certain members who can not
physically do this due to Dr's.orders.
If no one stays to tear down then there will
be NO MORE shows.
We understand if you have to work etc.
Either help setting up on saturday or help on
sunday to reset back as it was.
