Notes:
Several members have home layouts in various stages of construction/completion. The group has members from all over the greater-Houston area. The club does about three local shows per year. The club's web site is updated after each show showing photos of the event. In 2021 the club's trailer was stolen. The thieves were "nice enough" to take the modules out of the trailer before departing with it. Only one module was seriously damaged; the rest have since been repaired. However, everything else, including structures, scenery items, and the DCC equipment was stolen. Since 2023, the club is back to doing most local shows.

The club's layout is a collection of Sn3 modules that were started in the early-2000s. They are on their third iteration of the layout, which is powered by a DCC system. Most of the club's members model in Sn3, as that is what the layout is, but they are open to all who are interested in narrow-gauge modeling
