RIO GRANDE
The Rio Grande Model Railroad Club (Youth Club - for kids 8-18) continues to work on their Spokane Valley layout, making loads for flat cars and gondolas, and they also have time to operate trains on the layout. In February the kids were invited to operate trains on the large HO club (Albuquerque Society of HO Modular Engineers) railroad. The Club meets the second Saturday every month, from 9:00 am - 11:30 am.
