R.R.]) 2500 West Broad Street Richmond, VA 23220-2054 Phone: (800) 659-1727 About one third of our members prefer steam and our scenery is typical of Virginia and West Virginia mostly thru the 40's, 50's & 60's but there are some members who like to keep their buildings and equipment as modern as the prototype(s) they model. Most of our layouts are modular and take on new looks from time to time. Our November show will feature many of our layouts and several from other clubs in Virginia from the mountains to the sea. There may also be a layout from Maryland. One of our members has a circus layout that is most impressive. Meetings: 7:30 p.m. first Wed. each month. Contacts:
