                                      re How To Use This Page, & Outdated
                                      Information:
 
 
                                Use the
                                    CLUBS' own websites for latest info.

                                        the information on this page is outdated,
                                        as it changes faster than I can keep up
                                        with it.I keep
                                        the old info here, because club websites
                                        seem to "go down" periodically, and my
                                        thinking is that this old information is
                                        better than nothing at all.

 AKA "Reading & Susquehanna Valley Model Railroad Club"
 
 From the video: "The club’s layout occupies a space
                      measuring 16 feet by 30 feet. The members of the club have
                      been working on their layout for about 10 years now. The
                      club is modeling the Reading Railroad from Winfield to
                      Newberry Junction in central Pennsylvania.
