The room was about 20&#8242; wide and 75&#8242; long, and several layouts were built over the years, including both HO and O scale layouts.<\/span>\n\n\n<p>Lorem Ipsum has been the industry&#8217;s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: rgb(32, 37, 43); font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17.6px; font-weight: 400;\">The members of the Edmonton Model Railroad Club.

It was started shortly after the club moved into the Gardens in about 1962. There were never more than two or three members whose prime interest was O scale. Scenery was never started. The mountain in these pictures was removed from the first HO layout when it was dismantled and put in the middle of the O layout.
