Notes:
In July 2026, the mall in which the club housed their layouts started remodeling and so the club lost their space. Everything is in storage, and they are in the process of finding a new location.

The club's "Liberty Loop" layout is an 8' x 12' Figure-8, folded-over layout that uses American Models track (no turnouts) and is DC powered. This layout is put up in their clubhouse window when Seasonal Hill is not set up. Whenever they are closed, visitors can push the button outside the window and it will run for one minute. Their web site has a page dedicated to this layout which shows the construction of this layout, as well as a video.

Whenever they are closed, visitors can push the button outside the window and it will run for one minute. There is also a page dedicated to this layout on their web site.
Layout #4:
The "Seasonal Hill" layout is an 8' x 6' Lionel-based layout. This layout is put up in their clubhouse window during the Halloween, Christmas, and Easter seasons. Scenery comprises ceramic cottages from various manufacturers. Whenever they are closed, visitors can push the button outside the window and it will run for one minute.

The Addams Family throws a Halloween party and they have invited the Munsters as their guests of honor; the rock band KISS is providing the musical entertainment. This scene was added to the club's window display layout in November 2022. The "Seasonal Hill" layout is an 8' by 6' layout that is positioned at a window visible from outside the club's dedicated space. This allows visitors to view the layout, and, when the club is not open, the visitor can push a button to activate the trains and the layout for one minute. The track used for this layout is all Lionel.
