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 club displayed the modular with the new upgraded power system at Midway village in early Nov.
The modular ran quite well after a couple of small adjustments. Overall the people in attendance gave us very
good comments of the modular.
- The siding of the building is now completed. Gutters were installed last week and the outside of the building
should be maintenance free for many years. Thanks to Jim Gray who headed the project and to all who volunteered
their time.
- DCC system should be ready to be installed after our open house and when all the panels on the Illinois division
are complete. We are hoping to have it installed by the next open house.
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.
