For over fifty years the Redstone Model Railroad Club has been the hub for model railroading in Huntsville and the surrounding area.
The club's new HO scale Alabama Tennessee & Northern Railroad covers an area 48' by 20'. Through the years the club has enjoyed accomplishment and dealt with devastation. It has hosted four Southeastern Region (NMRA) conventions and was instrumental in starting Division activity within that region. Our fourth layout is well underway. The layout represents a proto-freelanced AT&N extension into Bir
Members of the Redstone club recently took the modular setup down to Helana Al for the bi-annual train show put on by Smokey City Rails. This member submitted video shows a walkaround tour of the setup.
We get a wonderful variety of equipment at Redstone on Operation and open run nights. This time, we have member Alec Van Maldegiam's wonderful set of lighted bilevels passing through the Edgewater east interlocking and into Hardwick tunnel
We do run long trains at the club sometimes. This was submitted by one of our younger members and shows a combination of club cars and cars from the submitting member and one other member. The locomotive is a Broadway Limited Conductors Club locomotive and the train length was 109 cars.

We had a ton of fun this evening running after our monthly business meeting!
If you're interested in visiting the club, send us a message!
To update everyone on changes in the schedule:
1st Tuesdays: informal operations night
2nd/4th Tuesday; Work nights
3rd Tuesday: Business meeting followed by open run
5th Tuesday: Module night, open run, or themed night
Radio dispatch operating sessions: These sessions are done three to four times a year as part of a round robin operating group and typically go a little deeper with a passenger schedule, track warrants, and a dispatcher. The layout's signaling system is gradually being fleshed out into a full CTC/ABS signaling system.
Other: Individual members will occasionally meet at other times to work on various projects or extra items such as "nighttime" running sessions

Over the last couple years, members have renewed efforts to complete our modular layout and now regularly travel to area train shows.
This a wonderful involvement opportunity to share our love of model railroading with the general public and recruit new members.
