The Bay State Model Railroad Museum was originally established in 1968 in Roslindale, MA as an O and HO Scale oriented model railroad club including both trolley and narrow gauge on the HO, and railroad and trolley on the O scale.
In late 1977 we were evicted from that space. As an organization, we elected to try to continue our existence and bought a rather run down building also in the Roslindale section of Boston. It took better than a year of back-breaking work, largely completed by members, to rehabilitate our building to support our club.
We also had to recruit, manage, and evict commercial tenants, pay taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc. All were activities well beyond the expectations of members who had originally joined the club to build railroads and to run their trains.
That transition is documented in an article appearing in the April 1982 Model Railroader Magazine entitled 'Moving the Mountains'. Santa will be visiting
