IRS990/Desc0The O gauge modules are a portable system constructed according to the Lionel Collectors Club of America. The total layout measures 31 x 24 feet and consists of a double oval of track and an operating and operating accessory peninsula. The peninsula contains coal loading and unloading operations, a magnetic gantry crane, a barrel loading operation and a lumber unloading platform with forklift. The modules are set up in our museum for 2-4 weeks at a time. They are also taken to other sites such as: the annual Sherman Hill train show in Cheyenne, Wy., the annual train show in Estes Park, Co., and the Veterans Museum in Broomfield, Co. This serves as outreach for the Foundation. The modules are instructive in how the operating accessories work and operations of the trains. The modules require maintenance continued improvements in landscaping. They are transported via a 16-foot trailer which requires licensing and insurance. All manpower is by volunteers.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Educational symposia are conducted throughout the year. Admission is free to each symposium. Speakers volunteer their time and any objects used in their demonstrations. Some symposia are educational focusing on collecting toy trains, while others are how to programs focusing on skills used in operating or building toy train layouts. Three educational programs were presented in 2024. They were: Repair and maintenance of post war (manufactured between 1945 and 1969) steam locomotives; 3-D printing of HO gauge building and detailed accessories for a train layout; how the ZW 275-watt transformer works and how to rebuild them.
