Welcome to the Lone Star Hi-Railers Model Railroad Club, one of the most unique and exciting
model-railroading clubs in the country. Our club was founded by a group of gentlemen whose primary
interest is O gauge three-rail scale modeling but as a club we embrace all gauges and styles of model
railroading. " All Are Welcome Here".  Whether you be Eight or Eighty, Man, Woman or child, Family or
Individual, Z gauge to G gauge Modeler or just a Railfan in general you will find camaraderie and a
willingness to share knowledge and information about the hobby amongst our group.

Some of you may be familiar with our
former layout on Sharp Street in Dallas.
The new layout will have the same
attention to detail and wide variety of
Locomotive and Rolling Stock that we
had there.
In an effort to promote the hobby
and also as a means of earning
operational funds for the club
we also maintain and operate a
12 x 28 foot modular layout.
This layout is very popular with
children and adults a like.
The baggage car will be coupled behind
the City’s Number 771 Southern Pacific
Lines steam engine and oil tender located
along the Historic Cotton Belt Route.
Our club has just entered into a
partnership with the City of Grapevine
Texas.
We will be building our new permanent
layout in a Baggage Car that will be
located across the street from the
Grapevine Police Department
.
Plans for the layout include a 60 foot
multi-level layout that can run several
trains simultaneously by means of
hand-held remote controls.
The landscape will include
reproductions of many Grapevine area
landmarks. With 60 feet of
length to work with we will be able to
vary the terrain from flatlands to
rugged high mountains and make the
view interesting, varied and exciting
from end to end.
There are railroad themed navigation buttons at the top and bottom of each page. The Trackage button will
take you to pages containing photos of our modular layout as well as an ongoing photo essay of our progress
with the baggage car layout in Grapevine. You will also find links to photos and information on the personal
layouts of some of our members.
The Stops button will take you to a page with photographs of and information about events attended by the
club as well as information on any future events.
The Engineering page will have tips on building your own model railroad from many of our talented
members. We will try to cover all aspects of layout design, construction and scenery.
Information on joining the club or contacting us about attending a meeting or having us display our
modular layout at an event you are planning can be found on the All Aboard page.
This website like our club will be constantly evolving and expanding so check back often to see what we are
up to and join in on the fun.
