| Short Track Railroad |
| The Short Track Railroad (Originally the ShortTrak'N Railroad) was formed in 1991 by 4 people living in San Diego County, California. Their initial goal was to build and take NTRAK modules to the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA), 1992 Pacific Southwest Region (PSR) annual convention. The convention that year was held in Laughlin, Nevada. Eight modules were built consisting of four 4 foot straight and four 3 foot corners to form a 10 foot by 10 foot setup. The group met in the back of SHORT LINE HOBBIES operated by Marilyn Short. In appreciation of Marilyn's generosity for providing meeting space the railroad was named in her honor. After a successful showing at the Laughlin PSR convention, the club grew and began to exhibit the railroad at local schools, churches, and retirement homes, in other regional conventions and at the 1996 NMRA National convention held in Long Beach, California. The club has regularly attended local Great American Train Shows (GATS) and has won 6 first place and 2 second place standings to date. |
