LDBC Model Railroad Club

Let me shed a little light of our little Club.

LDBC Model Railroad Club is located in South Bibb County, Georgia as a part of Lawrence Drive Baptist Church, Macon, Georgia. We have a layout which consists of (3) 4'x8' tables. The track is HO Scale and operates with three main lines and several side tracks. All of the switch tracks are controlled from one central location. Several of the switch tracks are controlled automatically by the control center.

Unfortunately, our club has not met in several years. One of our members (the one with the train layout) moved away.

I need to start building a new layout, but just haven't had time lately.

There will be more to come in the future.
