Queen City HiRailers

This page was updated on 2-22-2010

The Queen City HiRailers succeeds the original "LOTS" Lionel Operating Train Society modular layout and the successor club the "Cincinnati Modular Train Group" which appeared at many shows in the Cincinnati area over fifteen years from 1990 through 2005.

Original LOTS Layout 22 X 40 1-2006

We purchased the old layout from the CMTG on January 1, 2006. We renamed our new club to the "Queen City HiRailers". Queen City HiRailers

October 2006 layout

By October we have started to build 3 track mains and have enlarged the layout using part of the old Layout and our new modules. We have attained a size of 44 X 52 that we have run on.

At this point we are building more modules all 3 track mains and have started to run as a three track main as of November 2008. We will continue to add to the size as members make their own modules. We also need members to make and bring to shows 18" by 48" scenic layovers to place on the blank modules.

This building is currently the Ross School District Administration office. We have 3 rooms on the third floor along with two other module train clubs to set up and run on our modules, work on our equipment and build more modules, and hold our meetings.

We have also started to design and build a new layout in accordance with Independent Hi Railers specifications. Press the Button.

We invite you to contact any of our officers if you would wish to come and see what we are about or email the Webmaster for further assistance.

Click on the button and send a message to webmaster who will contact the officers. One of the officers will reply to your message.

On November 21, 2008 we obtained our first goal to build a three track main line for public view. This was first shown at Green Township Senior Center. I'm sorry there is no photograph at this time.
