HO scale

Previously, the SLOMRA used to follow the module standards set by the NMRA, however, with a change in membership, we have switched over to a Free-mo style modular system.  We have adopted many of the standards of Free-mo, however, we made some modifications to suit the needs of our current membership

But we did not stray too far from the standards and we are still able to connect and run with other Free-mo groups in California.

 

 

36This is Sheldon’s first attempt at building a module and he made the most of his space to represent Avila Bay.  Sheldon has a lot of practice with scenery.

Our latest group module can be connected to standard Free-mo as well as our alternate mainline standard of 3.5” from the edge.35
