Do you own trains that you would like to know more about. Our club has many members who would be happy to share their train knowledge. Everyone is welcome to attend one of our meetings as a visitor. Bring your trains or your train photos and your questions to our next meeting. Do you own trains that you want to sell? The Desert Division has the ability to conduct auctions for large collections or Ebay sales for a smaller number of trains. Contact our Auction Chairman for more information.
