The Tech Model Railroad club is an MIT student activity founded during the 1946-1947 school year, making TMRC one of the oldest clubs at MIT. This site contains information on the club, both past and present. There is information about the early days of the club, when we were located in building 20, and the current activities of the club in our current home, building N52, where we've been since 1997. If you'd like to visit the club, we're usually happy to welcome visitors during our regular meetings, and hold an open house twice a year, when you can be sure that lots of trains will be running. MIT students are always welcome to visit and join the club.
Our first meeting of the Fall 2024 Semester will be this Friday, September 13th at 8pm in the club room (N52-118). This is a great opportunity to get to know more about the club, discuss our upcoming projects (including System4), and run some trains. Hope to see you there!
The new circuit boards and the corresponding parts for System 4 have arrived! Help is needed assembling them so feel free to stop by the club room and help out with assembly!
