To become a member of our club, you must follow these strict membership rules:
Our club only meets at local train shows. We steadily do four shows per year, which generates enough money for us to be able to pay for the rented storage space for the club's layout modules. The club used to have a trailer, but it was stolen from the storage facility a number of years ago. In late 2025, the club is re-acquiring a trailer, as lugging the club's modules in individual cars is just too much.
The club has no officers (with the exception of a Treasurer). Some members have home layouts, some are "in between layouts"; some model in "scale", some model in "hi-rail", or "American Flyer". Additionally, many ex-members who have moved out the area still stay in touch.
Asher is Rusty's grandson and has been involved in the hobby from an early age.
Bill Roberts joined in 2025 after a move to Texas. He was a regional vice president for the NASG for a number of years.
Bob Werre: Bob was a large S-scale layout, the Great Plains Northern Terminal Railroad, which is essentially 100% finished. It is occasionally open during the Fall Layout Tours in Houston, Texas. Here are some of videos taken of his layout. Bob built a number of modules for the club that were in addition to the original core modules.
Chuck K.: together with his sons has already built a hi-rail layout at home (he also has videos).
John H.: joined the club in 2024 and he has a hi-rail layout at home.
Ron R.: hopes to have some space in the future to build a layout.
Rusty and Sandi Paulus: have a scale layout under construction in a dedicated building.
Steve K.: has a large collection of American Flyer trains and structures, and is starting a new layout.
Bill G. another early member of the club, who is now selling off his collection.
Dan T. moved away, but is still indirectly involved with the club, and he is building an S/Sn3 layout at home.
Don H. railroad historian, author and presenter. Don was the club's Treasurer for many years. Don built a handful of modules for the club that were in addition to the original core modules.
Howard R. has an American Flyer home layout.
John O. an experienced layout builder and custom painter, John's interests are in both scale and AF modeling.
Peter Vanvliet, while no longer active in the club, is still the club's webmaster. He took over and completed the Jack Troxell-built three-module double-track wye, and added three straight modules to make a complete set (the wye is now retired due to electrical issues). He maintains a "scale" layout at home. Peter is also the webmaster for the NASG, which requires daily updates and is the main reason for why he is no longer active in the Houston S Gaugers.
Jack Troxell maintained a large "scale" home layout in his detached garage. He was the founding member and defacto leader of the club.
Jerry Brewer was one of the founding members of the club. He was a professional model builder, and was well-known for his many structures he had built.
