The Club

The Fort Bend Model Railroad Club is best described as a loose affiliation of very-opinionated N-scale modelers who rarely have meetings and never conduct operating sessions, but who occasionally bring their separately-held NTRAK modules together to create the "Club layout" for shows and to run trains on it. If this is your type of club and you promise to run only N scale and to never complain about it, we just might be the club for you. Please e-mail us at contact@fbmrc.com and we'll let you know when the next meetings and events are.
