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
- Mark your calendars: the next open house will be November 20-21.
- We would like to thank everyone who attended our spring open house and hope you enjoyed your time. The open house attendance was the second best in our history! We hope to see you at our future open houses.
- We would like to thank Scott at Midwest Junction for his donations of car kits for our spring open house. You can visit his hobby store located in Loves Park at 6735 Broadcast Parkway. The store is in the plaza on the left off of Perryville Road next to the Dunkin Donuts and across the road from Peak Fitness. Or visit his Web site at http://midwestrailjunction.com.

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.
