HO Model Railroad Layouts Explained

HO scale is 1:87 size with 16.5mm track gauge and a minimum radius of 15 inches. HO scale model railroad layouts are an excellent size to appreciate the detail and running performance without being too cramped. Also, many model railroad enthusiasts say that HO scale model railroads are ideal for running their model trains using a digital setup. If you’re looking for model trains that require lots of switching operations then train enthusiasts will generally agree that an HO scale model railroad layout is an excellent choice.

Although we can't mention every HO scale model railroading club, we will from time to time feature news and activities happening at various HO scale model railroad clubs from around the world. Here is some information about a couple of clubs:

Fall (Autumn) Tones A Feature Of HO Model Railroad

Scenery on the Housatonic Model Railway Club layout is mainly fall (autumn)
colors with a walk-around plan designed for scenery and operations.

Founded in 1972, the Housatonic Model Railway Club was started to further the enjoyment of the model railroad hobby, primarily through the building and operation of an H0 scale model railroad.

The model railroad club layout broadly followed what the Housatonic Railroad (which was swallowed by the New Haven around 100 years ago) might have looked like in the 1950's, had it remained independent.

The Housatonic Model Railway Club hosts the Station Stop model railroad show and sale at the Fairfield Ludlowe High School in Fairfield each March. The show features operating layouts and displays by model railroad dealers.

1950’s Era HO Model Railroad

The model railroad track plan belonging to the H.O. Model Engineers Society focuses on the 1950’s in south central Ontario (Canada) with Hamilton as the hub.

The major railroad subdivisions represented include Canadian National Railway's Oakville Subdivision from Oakville to Hamilton and the Grimsby Subdivision from Hamilton to Merritton, near St. Catharines. The Dundas Subdivision is also represented as one leg of the Bayview Wye leading to the hidden staging yard.

The Canadian Pacific Railway operates on the Goderich Subdivision from Guelph Junction to Hamilton, as well as trackage rights on the Oakville Subdivision. The Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo Railway operates on the Welland Subdivision from Welland to Hamilton, which includes the New York Central Railway, as well as trackage rights on the Oakville Subdivision. The cities of Buffalo, Toronto and London are represented by common hidden staging yard, which feeds traffic to the modeled portion of the HO model railroad layout.

A digital command control system for train operations is being used (Digitrax), along with a computerized model railroad interface (C/MRI) system designed to operate the centralized traffic control system from a dispatcher's panel located in an adjacent room. Train movement is monitored by the dispatcher and will be controlled from signal lights along the right of way. A variable speed, fast time digital clock used on the previous model railroad layout, is used to control passenger and freight movements. High frequency two ways radios are used to communicate between the dispatcher and all train crews. Both freight and passenger cars are switched into trains or industries based on a computerized car forwarding program, (Shipit) which selects appropriate rolling stock for specific customers and prints switch list orders for the conductor of each train crew.

Most of this technology was in place on the Delta layout and will continue to create prototypical operations on the new layout. The new HO model railroad
layout is far from complete, but the model railroad club is attempting to use as much of the new model railroad technology available to create a realistic 1950’s era transportation system.

Model Railroad Club Builds Modular HO Layout

The RIT Model Railroad Club (RITMRC) was founded in early 1996 to promote the hobby of model railroading and to preserve the history of Rochester's railroads.

Since 1996, the RIT Model Railroad Club has been concentrating on a permanent model railroad project. The HO scale Rochester & Irondequoit Terminal is an ongoing project being constructed using each members areas of expertise. Located in Room A-420 in the Student-Alumni Union, the model railroad features the latest in Digital Command Control (DCC) technology, working wayside signals, and highly detailed models and scenes inspired by the Rochester area.

In 2004, the model railroad club embarked on its second most ambitious project to date: a 40'x12' modular HO scale model railroad layout.

This modular layout, based on the latest NMRA standards, allows RITMRC members the continued opportunity to design and construct a model railroad from the ground up.

Also powered by Digitrax DCC, this modular layout is portable, allowing RITMRC to travel outside of the RIT campus and show off its modeling talent.

The Black Diamond Lines Model Railroad Club models in HO scale, which is a ratio of 1:87. This means that if a model is 1 foot long, it represents a real-life object that is 87 feet long. (One foot, in HO scale is actually 0.137 of an inch.) The layout occupies approximately 1500 square feet of space, with a track elevation range from 46 inches to 82 inches above the floor. The Black Diamond Lines is an active, operating HO scale model railroad club located in Antioch, CA.
