Loose Ties Model Railroad Club, Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit, nonpartisan organization whose mission is to provide high-quality standards for people who care about Model Railroading and the railroad industry in America. The primary purpose of the Loose Ties Model Railroad Club is to promote the enjoyment of and appreciation for the display, collection, and operation of toy trains. The hobby of model railroading, “the World’s Greatest Hobby,” broadens the knowledge and understanding of the important role railroading has played in the history of our country as well as providing education and information about model railroading to its members and to the general public. We publish online, at our website, events and other associated social activities provided by the club. The site features videos as well as written stories. Loose Ties Model Railroad Club, Inc. adheres to the hobby of model railroading’s Code of Ethics. 

Since the clubs inception in 1996 the members have made it an ongoing practice during the Christmas holiday season to give away train sets to those lucky children whose entry ticket is randomly drawn from an entry box containing all the tickets deposited. During the Christmas holiday season the traveling modules are displayed at the locations shown in the  Events section of this website. We believe the future of our hobby is with the children and to that end:  “Christmas, kids and trains go together.”
