The Chelten Hills Model Railroad Club has listed the dates and times of their January open houses, which will feature local railroads past and present, as well as Thomas the Tank Engine.

They take place on Saturday, January 13 and Sunday, January 14 from 12:00pm – 4:00pm at 8010 Old York Road, Elkins Park.

Last month, Preston & Steve’s morning show on 93.3 FM WMMR in Philadelphia gave the club a friendly nod. You can click here to watch the clip.

About Chelten Hills Model Railroad Club

The club formed in 1946 above a Germantown Avenue paint store with 10 members. The original Germantown HO Engineers moved later that year to the basement of the Pennsylvania Railroad signal tower at the Chestnut Hill West station. This was the club’s home until 1961 when a disused station in Cheltenham was found by the club. The former Ogontz station on SEPTA’s West Trenton, Warminster, and Doylestown line became the club’s new home and with the move the club’s name changed to Chelten Hills Model Railroad Club.
