About Us

The KETTLE MORAINE BALLST SCORCHERS RAILROAD CLUB, INC. was founded in 1975.
We are a non-profit, educational organization whose purpose is to further the hobby of railroading, both model and prototype. This includes the history of railroading in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
   We provide members with areas for layouts, meeting space, a library, and work rooms. The club uses a modular N Trak and HO modular layout for shows and other public displays. All material for the club layouts are either donated or purchased by the club. Our only sources of funds are donations, members dues, and proceeds from shows, displays, and other fund raising activities.
All meetings and work sessions start at 7:00p.m. on Wednesdays, and Sundays. Visitors are more than welcome to attend any meeting or work session.
Access is made through the entrance off of 6th ave.

 Do you know that an approaching train is closer and moving faster than you think?  Do you realize that a train traveling at 55 miles per hour will take a mile or more to stop after emergency brakes are applied?  Get the facts, fast!

Our club is a member of both the NMRA (National Model Railroad Association) and AMRC (Association of Model Railroad Clubs). The NMRA promotes the hobby of model railroading on a national level through its regional groups. Our club is in the (WISE) Wisconsin SouthEastern Division. AMRC is a organization of about 15 model railroad clubs in the SE Wisconsin area that provides a bond between those individual clubs. Both organizations assist in the promotion and recognition of railroad clubs, and help us plan shows, clinics, operations, and aid us in the promotions of our own activities.
