Fullerton Model Railroad Historical Society (A Committee of the Fullerton Railway Plaza Ascociation) prepares for Fullerton Railroad Days 2001.
The Fullerton Model Railroad Historical Society (FMRHS) will make its second appearance as part of Fullerton Railroad Days 2001. It's first appearance at Fullerton Railroad Days 2000 was a major success, attracting great interest from politicians, business people, historians, model railroaders, and the general public. Formed last year, the FMRHS is a volunteer organization that utilizes the skills of model railroading to convey the history of the railroads and the communities they served. The FMRHS plans to construct an historically accurate model railroad layout focused on Southern California, with special emphasis on Orange County and Fullerton. Be sure to stop by their booth at Fullerton Railroad Days 2001 to see their initial efforts featuring a highly accurate model of the historic Santa Fe Depot in Fullerton.  Their booth will contain a scale model display of the Fullerton depot area- circa 1950, along with a photo gallery of vintage scenes of Fullerton and the railroads of the region. Interested in becoming involved? There will be information at the booth; or contact Membership Coordinator, Rick Bremer at 714-990-1394, anim8sd@aol.com; or visit their Website: www.trainweb.com/frpa/fmrhs.
