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.
