MODEL RAILROAD | OMRA | SPRINGFIELD, MO | WHAT'S NEW

New Rolling Stock!

Thanks to a recent donation, we were able to introduce several new pieces of rolling stock to the layout that will assist us in our era change to the mid 1970's. 

Whats New On The Railroad?

Much Needed Wiring Upgrades! 

We have been undergoing a new project on the layout. After careful planning we have decided to divide the layout up into  several new power districts, and upgrade the wiring under the railroad. Several new boosters will be installed, not to mention they were designed in house by OMRA member Lance Bradley! This allows for easy troubleshooting and greatly reduces cost. It also opens a gateway to block detection and any future upgrades we may want to add. 

More updates to follow!
