Lake County Model Railroad Club HO Scale Layout

[@MrDejast]

Fantastic club. Brings back some great memories, in 1970 going into jr.high they had a lot of different clubs, my friends and I would read all the model railroading magazines. We asked if we could start a club, and they not only said yes but they gave us an entire unused classroom. The janitors cleared out all the desks and stored equipment and furnished us with all the supplies. I went back several years later and it was still growing. Good times indeed.

What a great story, I'm always glad to hear the hobby is alive and well expanding for future generations!

Was a member for a few years there. It was during a major shift in the old guard leaving (some not so nicely), and the new guard coming in. It's been great to see the layout get new life pumped into it. I've been visiting it since I was a kid.

[@schmidty390]

It is great to see the layout grow and change.

[@papageorge5897]

Great layout, enjoyed the diversity in trains, video was shot very well. Landscaping is marvelous, tunnels, mountains, memorable layout.

[@schmidty390]

Thank you for watching the Lake County Model Railroad Club does a great job! I'm always impressed, especially with the sections of hand laid track.

[@rkay0516]

Just your basic little layout in the corner of the basement. Really nice !!!😊

[@schmidty390]

It's a well thought out layout for the space in the basement. Thanks for the watch.

[@timothyweiss5079]

I would like to see a production house document your magnificent layout so the trains can tell the story really bring it to life.

[@schmidty390]

The model railroad club would probably benefit from that, or I'd have to film it, nor during an open house.

[@randycaulkins3644]

Nice layout, nice video coverage.

[@schmidty390]

Is this in Lake County, Ohio ?! Because if so I live in Albion,Pa. and I'd really love to skip across the border and go to see this magnificent craftsmanship of Model Railroading ! My hat's off to all involved in creating this masterpiece !

[@schmidty390]

This is located in Wauconda, IL.

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

The landscape is fabulous. I appreciate the attention to detail on the layout. I wanted to put some 💵 in their money jar 17:06. 😂 Your videography is terrific...I enjoyed the the show. 😊

[@schmidty390]

The members here do a greatjob here.

[@trainman2k]

Awesome layout and equipment!! At around 19:00 on the video, there are quad diamonds on a curve. Are those four diamonds hand built?

[@schmidty390]

Yes, a lot of the trackwork on this clubs layout in handlaid rail.

[@trainman2k]

@@schmidty390 Thank you. I wanted to try hand laying track 40 plus years ago but never did. Now my eyesight and my patience tells me not to try.

[@ArthurPeters-h8g]

I love this railroad, the giant people are a little scary. 😮 My trains are mostly HO.

[@schmidty390]

Thank you. The giants are mostly harmless.

[@davidwilson410]

Visited this both summers that my mom was earning her MS at NIU

[@schmidty390]

A great place to visit for sure!

[@kevinyoung9557]

A beautiful looking layout.Opened to the public ??

[@schmidty390]

They have open houses, which is where I filmed the video. Check out their Facebook page or online for open houses.

[@buzzmeachum1855]

Fantastic!

[@schmidty390]

Thank you. The club does such a good job with this layout.

[@dalemadison2368]

Lake County where?

[@schmidty390]

In Illinois, the Club is in Wauconda, IL

[@slorznovitch]

As usual, no action on the Red Island line. When I was a member, I would spend hours running and switching the branch line. Great club! LCMRRC has come a long way and is still going strong.

[@schmidty390]

Yes they are doing a great job we were happy to see the layout and how great it is.

[@JuanSilveti-z9p]

Hermosa maqueta

[@schmidty390]

Thank You its nice to visit.

[@JuanSilveti-z9p]

Los vagones de pasajeros hermosos

[@schmidty390]

The passenger trains are very nice.

[@marcoperez6952]

A fine layout. But I notice the lack of landscaping in regards to vegetation. I would expect trees and bushes all over the area. But no. Why is that? You will forgive me because after visiting Howard Zanes incredible layout I'm spoiled by his layout and any layout that is huge as his should be finished in the same manner.

[@schmidty390]

This layout was built in stages, and a lot of it was built in the 70s and 80s, and the scenery reflects it. Could it use a freshening in some spots for sure.

[@mitchellyardanoff4666]

Tree planting spree

[@terryreidstahly]

I am sorry to be complain but the people talking constantly and mumbling and hands reaching out to almost touch cars ruined this video of a nice layout for me. Jeez who does that shit when recording a youtube movie?

[@schmidty390]

It was during an open house, so there are going to be a lot of people. Very little space to move around and shoot video. Plus, they are all talking which is ok.
