Greater St. Louis Area
Model Railroad Layouts
Great model railroad layouts
abound in the St. Louis area. We have home, club and
garden layouts. From N and TT to live steam, narrow
gauge, standard gauge, tinplate, short lines, mainlines,
indoors and out, you'll find fine train layouts everywhere in
Greater St. Louis.
Would you want a guest in your home to pick up
everything, to look it over without first asking, or
perhaps put down wet glass on a nicely polished wood
table? Of course not! The rules of good etiquette
one observes as a house guest also apply when visiting a
model railroad.
- Never pick up anything. If you need a
better view, ask the owner for permission.
- Never lean on a layout.
- Do not touch, scratch, feel or move anything.
- Do not smoke in a host’s home.
- Don’t be so quick to point out a "better
way."
- Be tolerant of scale and skills. If you can’t
say something nice, well … silence is golden.
- Sign the guest book and thank the host and
hostess.
- Respect the host’s property, both inside and
outside him home.
- Do not dominate the host’s time. Others may
have questions or comments, too. The same goes
for the best viewing area. Let everyone enjoy
the layout.
- If you see someone violating the rules, remind
them.
- Ask permission to take photographs. Any photos
you take are for your own personal use and are
not to be sold or used commercially. Commercial
photo rights belong to the layout owner.
Remember that others want to see the layout too.
Don’t block aisle ways when photographing.
- Above all, don’t be so serious! This is, after
all, a hobby and it is fun!
