Thanks Gus , we do has an Air Conditioner , we are somewhat concerned about heat in the winter though. Electric is free so will likely do electric heat.
The fair is 5 days and we will be there all 5 days.
There is usually between 5000 to 8000 pass through the buildings.

Thanks Gus , Mike

Current News

We had a work session on Wednesday the 15th of August and several members attended.

We were able to get the yard ladders put together and got about 70% of the unitrack laid out for the test fit.

So far so good and really seems to be taking a shape now. When you see it in person it has a lot of vacant real estate for the future.

We have a Business meeting and work session this Saturday August the 18th at 9:00 AM for all who would like to attend.

Special Thanks to ALL of our members who have been adding sweat equity as well as funds and have made it possible to make great progress on the building and to all of our members for the support and ideas.

Ross came to the building today and is ahead on dues and has put his $50.00 into the ring as well for the tables , Thanks Ross.
We also have all of the bus wire we need as well as some feeder drop wire as well.
Bad news is we need to come up with $250.00 for our half of the insurance which was paid by the HO group last month.

We also need everyone to consider if and when you may be able to work at the fair grounds during the fair. The fair dates are the 3rd through the 7th of October.

Also bring a locomotive to run on saturday. We will not have all the track done but will have a Digitrax Zephyr and MRC pack there for pictures and test runs.


I have updated the page.

Re: New New Mexico Club - Steamtrains - 08-31-2012

That is gonna be some kind'a layout..!! The track seems to be very nicely laid, but it's going to take tons of plaster to do the scenery..!!!
Is it going to be DC or DCC..??

Keep it up, and us posted... Thumbsup

Well, we are making great progress so far and the county is now in charge of the grounds. It seems as though the county will do some exterior repairs to the building and help us as they are able.

Here is the latest from the Southern New Mexico N Scalers.
We are happy to announce we had a huge donation from a couple in Alamogordo NM of nearly $5000.00 worth of N scale structures and supplies.
We have all of the fascia and hard skirting painted and are currently working on the sky board.
Please take a moment to look at our web page.

WoW Mike..!!

That looks great..!! You guys are really going "All Out"..!! The layout is very well presented with no framing visible, and that track plan will keep a good crew busy for several hours.

Congratulations to all involved..!! Thumbsup
