Welcome to NTGRC!
 

     The North Texas Garden Railroad Club is a collection of enthusiastic individuals and their families who meet monthly for fellowship, garden railroad talk and a chance to play with (operate) their trains.

 

     Area residents and visitors are all welcome at our meetings. If you are interested in or curious about garden railroading or maybe want to start your own garden railroad, then come to one of our club meetings. Ask the members about any aspect of the hobby that interests you. Check the Club Activities calendar for the next meeting information. Memberships are available and we welcome your participation.

     The club also builds and operates display railroads at several train shows and other activities each year in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Check the Area Events calendar for the next public event.

 
 
Feel free to visit one of our show displays, attend a meeting, or drop us an email. Introduce yourself and ask any questions you might have about the hobby.
