The Western Reserve Model Railroad Museum moved to their new location at 7230 Justin Way, Liberty Business Park in late 2009. It was founded in September 2004 designed for families to learn about model railroading and the history of railroads in America. The museum has 16 different scales on display and operating layouts in N, HO, On3, S, 2-Rail & 3-Rail O Scale (the largest layout is 3-Rail O with three mainlines; still we've seen photos of a lot of nice work), O tinplate, Standard, Lego, Brio, and G. Working to get U Scale for display (i.e. full size prototype railway equipment); Free (donations accepted & appreciated). Info: WRMRRM, 7230 Justin Way, Liberty Business Park, Mentor, OH 44060, 440/251-0350; website www.wrmrrm.org/ |
