An Important Message from the RCM President

To the friends and members of the River city Modelers.
 
            The past few months have been somewhat trying, with the all restrictions that have been placed upon us, due to the Covid 19 virus. The River City Modelers were no exemption to these restrictions. For these past months we have had to shut down most all of our operations, and restricted entry into the club and cancellation of all club functions.
            This week the Board of Directors held a meeting to determine how the club would proceed in the coming months. The key issue faced by the Board was the October Spokane Train Show and Swap Meet. We have been in contact with the Spokane County Fairgrounds and Expo Center, to see what their future schedule of operations would be, and how it would affect the October Train Show. In speaking with them, several issues and concerns were brought up. The main issues were the availability for the building that we use for the show, and health and safe for our vendors and the general public who attend the show.
             After much discussion The RCM Board has decided to opt on the side of caution and safety. The Board wish to inform you that the October Spokane Train Show and Swap Meet has been cancelled. It is hoped that you will understand why we have decided to not hold the Show. It is hoped that we will be able to have the Spring Train Show in March of next year. 
The RCM Board of Directors hopes that all of you will be safe and healthy in the coming months and year.
 

Gary Thurow
President, River City Modelers

Welcome to the River City Modelers railroad club!  Home of the River City Western Railroad.  At (RCM) it’s about learning and having fun. We offer something for everyone from the beginner to those who have been in the hobby for many years. Our member’s range from retired railroad employees to the novice who fondly remembers their first train set on Christmas morning. Modeling skills are not required to become a member- just an interest in model railroading.
Our members have a variety of talents and interest and are always eager to learn new skills as well as teach others what they have learned. Our HO scale layout has two levels with over 19 scale miles of track and has been under construction at its current location since January 2009.
If you have an interest in model railroading and would like to learn skills such as track design, scenery, or wiring then consider joining us. If your interest is in operations you can enjoy running trains and switching cars. Regardless of your experience, you will find that our members are friendly and eager to share their knowledge and fondness of railroading.
Above all we are about having fun and promoting the great hobby of model railroading.  Come see us at our layout!
