Colorado - Denver HO Model Railroad Club, Inc.
Golden, CO - The Denver HO Model Railroad Club, Inc., is one of the oldest and largest model railroad clubs in the Rocky Mountains. The Club is housed in the lower level of the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado. The layout features HO, HOn3 and traction which replicates the various types of Colorado mountain railroading.
The Club began in 1947 by meeting in private homes of members. About 1948, the Club obtained space in an unused coal room in the basement of the Izet Building. In 1950 it was forced to move due to remodeling of the building. We relocated in the basement of the Mayan Theater, and thirteen years later, in 1963, again changed homes. For three years the Club met in members' basements.
We have been in the Colorado Railroad Museum's lower level since February 1968. From February to June of 1968, we remodeled the room and built the replica of the side of passenger car to wall off the railroad layout while allowing visitors unlimited viewing opportunities. Our first benchwork was started in June of 1968. Approximately 4,000 work-hours per year are represented here.
