SE Michigan S Scalers
We exhibit our display layout at shows and conventions, facilitated by our own customized trailer and wheeled carts. Over the years we have taken our portable layouts to events in eight other states besides Michigan. Our monthly meetings offer fellowship, show-and-tell of projects we’re working on, and news within both the modeling and railroad prototype worlds. SMSG welcomes new members, whatever your experience level might be!
