Welcome to the Fever River RailroadStephenson Society of Model Trainsmen
|
|
The Fever River Railroad is a model railroad club located in Freeport, Illinois owned and operated
by the Stephenson Society of Model Trainmen, a non-profit organization incorporated in the State of
Illinois. We have built a large, permanent HO scale model railroad layout in our clubhouse which
was a boarding house for the Illinois Central Railroad Iowa Division. Our layout size is 80'-by-24'
including a staging yard with a helix for continuous operation.

News
- The spring open house was a success. Thank you to all who attended and we hope to see you at future shows.
The next open house will be November 21-22.
- The new DCC system is up and running. We have been running on the new Digitrax system and have encountered minimal issues. Our hope is to run DCC at the next open house.
- We would like to say good bye to our member Roger as he has decided to move back to England. Your collection of English trains always ran great (better than any of our American stuff!) and was something different for the layout. Good luck to you and hope to see you in the future.
Shows
We have two train shows each year where we get to show off the layout to the general public --
one in April and the other the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Meetings
Visitors are welcome anytime we are at the clubhouse. We also will give tours for large groups if
planned in advance. Feel free to contact us to arrange
for an appointment or tour.
We have a monthly business meeting the evening of the first Wednesday of each month.
We generally are at the clubhouse every Wednesday evening after 6:30 p.m. and every Saturday morning
after 9:00 a.m.
