To Members of our Business Community and Rail Fans
We, at the Western Reserve Model Railroad Museum, in Mentor, Ohio, are on the brink of a new adventure, and we are asking for your support.
Soon we will be moving to a new location off Tyler Blvd, one that will more than double the size of our current facility. The move is timely because we also have the unique opportunity to purchase a collection of fully restored, and FRA approved, prototype vehicles worth close to $1 million. The acquisition will include a diesel engine, a 1950s-era presidential passenger car, 16 Pullman Standard passenger cars, and a one-of-a-kind 1943 steam engine. With that, will come many levels of sponsorship recognition, including naming rights for future building projects, and advertising on the cars themselves. But first, we urgently need to raise $100,000 to move them to Mentor. To guarantee their continued protection, we would like to bring them under our control before winter, as their present storage building is in danger of collapse and we fear snow will only hasten that process. Determined not to miss the opportunity to acquire this equipment, we are reaching out, in an unprecedented way, and asking for your support. Our Oktoberfest open house will kick off our fundraising efforts; see our web site for more information, including dates and times. Optimistically, we expect these cars to be the focal point of our Holiday Open House on December 5, 2009. We can hardly wait to introduce them to you! Please consider making your tax-deductible donation today, payable to WRMRRM. The Board of the Western Reserve Model Railroad Museum thanks you!

The Museum is located between Rt. 2 and I-90, just 16 miles east of Cleveland, Ohio
Admission is Free - Donations are accepted and appreciated! The Western Reserve Model Railroad Museum was founded in September of 2004 with the intent of being a fun place where families could come and learn about model railroading and the history of railroads in America. It has grown to be the largest Model Railroad Museum of its kind in the U.S. in just over 4 years! We also felt it was important for our guests to be able to enjoy playing with trains of various scales without having to empty the vacation budget. As a result we have been able to keep the museum free of charge with the help of donors and contributors.
The museum has 16 different scales on display and
operating layouts in:
'N', 'HO', 'On3', 'S', 'O', 'O tin
plate', 'Standard', and 'G'.
