Entrance
The entrance to the club room features three interesting things: first, the large tmrc sign, painted by Alvar during the summer of 1997; then the refurbished classic lantern, which Jeff and Alvar put up as soon as we got there; and finally, the hardest one to note: "Window Siding" has been put in exhibition above the door.

Entrance
A section of Window Siding, the old very long strip of track that traversed the windows in 20E214 and 20E216, is now in exhibition above the door of the new room.

Entrance
Our wonderful coke machine, giver of lots of funds so that we can build a great layout! If you come by, don't forget to visit one of the very few 50c machines on campus!

Amenities
This is an actual RailRoad crossing, it was acquired by Jeff after a wreck around the area where he lives. It is fully functional, with a bell provided by John Purbrick. It is annually transported to the Activities Midway.

Visitor
Peter K Lee, TMRC Governor for three years, right before the move, visited us on April 4, 1998. It was great to have him around, since he left right before the new layout was de-commissioned.

Work Table
This is the main work-table of the room, ah! Actually, it is the most used because of the bandsaw and because all the toolboxes are kept there.
