FBMRC Club Car #1

The Club

Fort Bend County, Texas, has been a hot bed of railroad activity for more than 150 years. These days a suburb of Houston, Fort Bend County is crossed by some of the most active rail lines in the US, including the former-SP "Sunset Route". Living in various communities in this area, the members of the Fort Bend Model Railroad club are blessed both with the opportunity to see a lot of full-size trains in action, and to model railroads in N scale indoors as a way to seek relief from those long hot coastal-Texas summer days....

This is our web site. Please "come on in y'all" and look around. You'll see pictures, information and news about our award-winning NTRAK modules (the picture is a detail of the Imperial Sugar Factory module), as well as prototype railroads in the area from both historical and current perspectives. We try to keep it interesting, and always appreciate your feedback.

Richmond Module Unveiled!

The first public display of the new Richmond module took place during the San Jacinto RR tour in November, 2003. The complete layout including this module has subsequently been displayed at several other shows.

Add A Little Sugar To Your Layout...

The photo to the right shows the test build of the FBMRC's first "club car". This is a reproduction of an authentic prototype scheme -- the first time any of the fleet of the Imperial Sugar Company has been produced in any scale. Officially authorized by Imperial Sugar and exclusive to FBMRC, this car will be produced by Micro-Trains and be available in N scale since November 2004. There are less than 10 of these sets left at this time. The Imperial Sugar Company is the oldest continuously operating business in Texas. (Click on photo to see larger image.) It is now on sale by mail and online at this web site.
