Who We are
We are located in the Pebble Creek Resort Community, Goodyear, Arizona. Our club promotes model railroading - including scale modeling, simulated railroad operations, and general railroad discussion - and serves as a community resource for railroad history, science, and lore. But our primary goal is just to provide "fun" for members and the local community.
Please take a tour around our site. There are lots of pictures under the "GLW RR" tab for each area on the layout, and movies too - under the "Media" tab.
Membership
Club membership is open to any Pebble Creek homeowner, whether you are an experienced modeler or just willing to learn. We conduct regular Operating sessions, so you can run the railroad as well, just like the real thing - well, almost.
And we now have an associate membership option for renters. Make us part of your stay in Arizona!
Contact Club President Bruce Petrarca at 935-4837 about membership and consider joining us
You can also reach us by email at pcmrc@cox.net
Visiting the Railroad Club
We hold Open House events at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas - ideal for visiting family and guests. Trains run on the indoor HO scale layout, and outside on the Garden Layout.
Club members are at the layout Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9 am to 11:30, either "Working on the Railroad" or conducting simulated operations. You are welcome and encouraged to visit then.
You can also contact us to see if an appointment can be arranged for you to see our layout at other times. Call Mark at 623-455-8076 or Chuck at 623-535-0325 (8 AM to 8 PM only please)
Great Lakes Western to be featured at Fall Operations Weekend
The GLW is one of eight model railroad layouts taking part in Desert Ops 2012, a weekend Operations event in the Phoenix area. There are a number of such events around the country where realistic railroad operations session are held at a number of layouts - but this is the first to take place Phoenix for many years. Visit the Desert Ops web site to learn more about the event.
Skirting is being installed on the layout at the GLW.
If you get the chance, go see this IMAX movie documenting Canadian Pacific steam engine 2816 on a trip across Canada; as well as the history of building of the CP.
The footage of the train and of the Canadian scenery is outstanding. Click the image to visit the web site.
