What's A Boomer?

A boomer is a migrant railroad worker. We began meeting over 21 years ago at the Bedford Village Depot Hobby Shop. We've since evolved into a group of model railroad enthusiasts spanning all scales and aspects of the hobby. Some of us appear below.

We don't have a formal meeting place. Each Tuesday evening we get together at a member's home either to assist in constructing their layout or to conduct an operating session. The upcoming meetings page contains the places we'll be over the next few weeks. On the fourth Tuesday of every month (except November and December) we meet at the Bedford Library at 7:15 pm. These meetings are open to the public.

On or about the first full weekend in November we hold our annual Model Railroad Exhibition at the McKelvie School in Bedford. The show is open to the public on Sunday from 10:00 to 4:00 and features LGB, HO, N, and O scale layouts as well as clinics, circus memorabilia, and weather permitting, a live steam train. All ages are welcome. Click Here for More Information
