The Cortez-Dolores Model Railroad Club
Welcome to the McElmo Western Railroad
Members
Mike: Club President
Mike is quite the rail fan and has so graciously offered up his space and resources to keep the club and layout active. Mike not only is involved with HO modeling but also N scale, G scale, and is currently working on a riding 7.5" gauge railroad in his yard!
Hog Leg (Paul): Club Member
Hog Leg is an experienced model railroader and master of scenery. He recently moved to AZ however, yet his section of the club layout is still with us, and Brian bought and disassembled his old home layout!
Van: Club Vice President
Van has been a long time member and railfan and is very versed in prototype railroad operations. Making sure plans get carried out and the layout runs smoothly is his thing! He currently is a wildland firefighter.
Hayden: Club Member
One of the youngest members of the club, Hayden has always had a love of trains. He grew up playing with the wooden Thomas the Tank Engine sets and now loves HO & HOn3 scale steam locomotives. Currently working on the Durango & Silverton RR.
Cheif (Jim): Club Member
Cheif recently passed away, but as the senior-most member of the club, Cheif had extensive knowledge as to the history of the local area and even modeled his modules after the lesser known town of Arloa which existed back in the day along the Rio Grande Southern.
Brian: Club Member
Having been a railroading fan for years, Brian's passion for railroading makes him a valuable asset for our club and his experience with electronics also makes him essential for the details of new wiring projects and tech support.
Barb: Club Member
Barb loves the cuteness and charm of old, small steam locomotives and makes a pleasant addition to the club with her small Climax locomotive chuffing along the layout.
