Rochester Institute of Technology Model Railroad Club - RITMRC

Rochester Institute of Technology Model Railroad Club - RITMRC Founded in 1996, we are a student club devoted to the hobby of model railroading and the history of Rochester's railroads. All students are welcome!

Our club has had a busy end of the semester! We were able to get tons of work done for Imagine RIT. Thank you to anyone who came to see our layout!

We also had our 30th anniversary club dinner! There was a great group of current and past club members who attended, and we had a good amount of presentations that were shown!

Work session recap from the past month!

Lots of woodwork and track work has been completed so far. We have been working extra hard to get ready for Imagine RIT.

Happy Valentines day railfans!

We've had a pretty busy last month or so, so here's a brief recap! Our club visited the MIT's Tech Model Railroad on our way to the Amherst train show in Springfield MA!

Some of our club members (Theo, Miles, Justin, and Drew) built modules during an NMTA N scale module build session to display at the show, which was awesome to see at one of the biggest train shows in the world!

Today, we had a work session where we made great strides in continuing to build our model railroad, and we can't wait to show off the finished product during our Image RIT open house in April!

As many of you may already know, our club was at risk of losing our club room without a suitable replacement. We want to sincerely thank all of you for helping demonstrate just how important our club is to the community.
We recently met with RIT Student Life, who have extended our relocation timeline and committed to finding us an appropriate new space. They will not require us to move out of our club room until a new space has been secured! 
In the meantime, we will continue building and improving our layout in our current room until a new space is secured.
We are excited to confirm that we will again host the RIT Tiger Tracks Train Show and Sale this year on December 12-13th and will continue hosting Tiger Tracks for the foreseeable future!
Be sure to visit us during our Open House on April 25 as part of Imagine RIT to see the latest updates to our layout.
Thank you again for your continued support!
