Redstone Model Railroad Club

For almost fifty years the Redstone Model Railroad Club has been an active center for model railroading activity in the Huntsville Alabama area.

The Redstone Model Railroad Club is rebuilding!

Starting with a new club layout!

The club's new HO scale Alabama Tennessee & Northern Railroad will cover an area 48' by  20'. Through the years the club has enjoyed accomplishment and dealt with devastation. It has hosted four Southeastern Region (NMRA) conventions and was instrumental in starting Division activity within that region. As we begin construction on our fourth layout we look toward to the club's fiftieth birthday, in 2008.
