Welcome and thank you for visiting our website.
The Wilson Area Railroad Modelers, Inc. (W.A.R.M.) is a membership of people interested in modeling a freelance layout with various styles, techniques and time periods. In our world, the steam era never died and you'll likely see steam locomotives to modern diesels working side by side complete with shops to service both.
As you walk around following the trains, you'll see several scenes depicting mountainous terrain with towering trestles, towns, industries, rail yards and passenger stations. The layout features two separate railroads for running trains. We have our main line which operates over 65 modules in a single and double track main line configuration. Our branch line features a high line and industrial line with joint trackage allowing access to passenger stations, grain operations, merchants, industrial manufacturing, steel works and a tank farm.
Many of our members who run regularly also run locomotives with sound. You can hear the rumble of a modern diesel and air horns or the chuff of vintage steam with whistle and brass bell.
We are open to the public every Saturday (except holidays) from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Admission: $1 per adult. Children are free and must be accompanied by an adult.
