The Mohegan Pequot Model Railroad Club's G scale layout features huge yards, drawbridges, coaling towers, and intermodal facilities. The railroad always has lots of running trains with its double track mainline delighting railroad enthusiasts of all ages.

Over the last 10 years or so, the club has been partnering the with the Central Connecticut G Gaugers to help bring a larger and more impressive layout to shows. This influx of members has kept the group active and attending events in New England as well as shows as far away as Pennsylvania.

At the Railroad Hobby Show, the group display's a 38'x58' layout inside the Young Building.  Traffic is always busy and the large size of the trains certainly draws a crowd. Over the years, the group has steadily added to the display with new animated scenes.  For example, the layout has included a working drawbridge, intermodal crane, and even a drive in movie theater.  There are some rumors that a working rotary dump module is in the works and might just make it to the show this year...you'll have to stop by the show to find out!
