Welcome to the Fever River Railroad

Stephenson 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

We are currently working on incorporating a DCC system for both DC/DCC operation.


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.
