Frackville PA 3 rail club looking for more members
Posted by cruikshank on Sunday, March 4, 2007 8:48 AM
Ok, I've been posting this for about the past 4 months or so.  Well we have the space, we have a previously built layout of approximately 24' x 55'  and we have a big expansion project in the works.  We sure could use some experienced track layers, Scenery muckers, Carpenters, or any other help skilled or semi skilled.  We have several boxes of Gargraves Phantom track, a bunch of Gargraves switches on the way.  We are building for 072 minimum so you can run your big stuff.  In the end there will be at least 7 loops, staging, 2 yards, several coal breakers, already has great buildings, and it will have automation for multiple trains on the same loop.  If you are into 3 rail trains this is worth the trip.  If your in the Reading area, we can share the ride.  It's in a store front, in a mall, climate controlled.  Make an appointment to come see it and see if you want to be part of the reincarnation of a great layout.  The ERA for public displays is the 1920's Anthracite Region, STEAM, but for club nights anything goes.  Easy access the Frackville Exit of Route I-81 or just off Route 61, North of Pottsville, South of Ashland.  I hope to get pictures together and posted somewhere for your viewing enjoyment.  Hope to hear from a few of you.  Thanks,  Dave
