The Rochester Model Railroad Club is having it's annual open house at the First Universalist Church on March 7 from 10 to 5 and March 8 from 1 to 5. Cost is $8 kids 9 and under free. The railroad is a large (40 x 60 foot) HO train layout depicting the Lehigh Valley railroad of the 1950'S from Buffalo thru Pennsylvania to Jersey City. Members have used photos, actual plans and on-site visits and pictures to recreate many of the actual scenes, buildings and bridges along the railroad which the club calls the Seneca Valley Lines. One of the highlights of the layout is the Lehigh Valley Gorge. The layout's scenery is complete with over 3000 trees. During the annual open house there will be a continuous parade of trains. Thomas the Tank engines and cars will make a special appearance. The event is not handicapped accessible as the layout is in the basement of the First Universalist Church. Masks are optional.
