  • October 18, 2023 Trial Run Ops Session

    Last night the Los Angeles Model Railroad Society (LAMRS) hosted its first ops session to test out both the upper (Fresno and the sawmill) and lower levels (City of Industry) and the helix. All-in-all, it went very well. We had a great turnout of club members, as you can see from the photo. The Los Angeles Model Railroad Society (LAMRS) is alive and well. Come join us in the fun!
