EPMR Train House - Weekly Fun Night
2023-03-16 19:00 - 21:00 | RMHAEP HQ, 6335 Vaughn Court, El Paso, TX, United States
Join us for the El Paso Model Railroad group’s informal fun night every Thursday from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at our facility located at 6335 Vaughn Court, El Paso, TX. During these events, members enjoy running their trains, discussing various aspects of model railroading, and working on layout improvements. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or a newcomer to the hobby, we welcome you to join us for an evening of camaraderie and train-related fun! Our train inventory consists of O, HO and N Scale models.

O scale – O scale is a scale commonly used for toy trains and rail transport modeling, introduced by German toy manufacturer Marklin around 1900. By the 1930’s three rail alternating current O gauge was the most common model railroad scale in the US and remained so until the early 1960’s. O scale is defined as 1:48 (0.25 inches to the foot)
HO scale – “HO” stands for half O, as they are a smaller alternative to the O scale. 1:87 – This size has the widest range available and combines greater detail and more accessories to give you a versatile model train experience.
N scale – The “N” is short for nine, which refers to the 9mm gauge of the N scale rail tracks. With a wide range of options, the N scale model train is ideal for constructing a larger landscape without taking up a lot of space.
