Pikes Peak “N”gineers MRR Club (N Scale Modulars) 
In December 1992, the club moved to Shops at the Bluffs Shopping Center. While there, the club layout grew to fill about 3000 square feet of space. After three prosperous years there, the club had to leave and go into storage. About a year and a half later, the club found a new location at Jeannine Drive. We had a monthly rental expense, the first in the club’s history.
The club has also been located at the Meadowlake Airport out near Falcon, CO. Currently, the club is at 32 S Sierra Madre, in the old Rio Grande Depot, downtown, where we’ve been for about a year and half.
The club attends many shows/swapmeets throughout the year, roughly 8-12 each year. We also have an annual Anniversary Dinner, an annual picnic at Palmer Lake, and do two to four club trips each year, including at least one train ride.
Pikes Peak Division NMRA
We're a "crafty" bunch. Among us, we have over two centuries of modeling experience! At each meeting we have a short business meeting, a break with refreshments, a how2 clinic or presentation, a drawing for door prizes, and a model contest. Check out the winners in the Milepost Newsletters. We also have a large HO scale modular railroad group. Many of our members are also involved in HOn3 and N scale modular groups. Meetings are held at the Sand Creek Police Station, 4125 Center Park Dr., the second Friday of the month at 7:30pm. Come join us. See our website for more information.

Pikes Peak & Southern Railroad
 Founded in 2007, the Pikes Peak & Southern Railroad Corporation is a Colorado non-profit corporation that produces exhibits of HO scale model trains and historic model railroading to the delight of the public, our clients, site hosts, and sponsors. We are managed by our governing board of directors allowing us to make quick decisions on rules, spending, and business matters. There is no regular membership roster at this time. Our officers and four board members are the only permanent PP&S members, but invited guest modules and operators participate regularly. We are not an NMRA division, but we are an NMRA certified 100% membership organization. We exhibit annually at the Arapahoe County Fair, the Colorado State Fair, and at the TECO shows.
 Pikes Peak & Southern Railroad Board of Directors Howard Smith - Chris Fox - Jerry Bonds - Gerry Drewes Sue Drewes (Secretary-Treasurer) Colorado Midland Chapter NRHS Established: 1968. The importance of the railroads to the growth and expansion of the United States is a compelling story. We all share a genuine interest in this all-encompassing industry which has woven an iron and steel path across the face of the nation. Each NRHS member receives the NATIONAL RAILWAY BULLETIN every other month. With articles, photos and news of railroading past and present, the BULLETIN is recognized as a leading rail historical publication. One issue each year is devoted to documenting the many activities of the local chapters. Back in 1935 the founders of the NRHS recognized the need to preserve and promote railroading nationwide. This need still exists - and you can be a part of our efforts. Photographing or preserving locomotives... riding or running trains...reading or researching history... there's something for you in the National Railway Historical Society. We invite you to join us in this fascinating and rewarding world of railroading. Chapter holds annual banquet, operates excursions (not limited to rail), presents slide/movie/video shows/guest speakers, conducts railroad facility tours, and exchanges newsletters.

PikeMasters Model RR Club The PikeMasters Model Railroad Club is located in the basement of the City Auditorium, located at 221 East Kiowa, Kiowa and Weber streets, in downtown Colorado Springs. The PikeMasters Club, an affiliated NMRA club, meets every Thursday evening at 7:00PM. New members and visitors are welcome and club members will be present to explain the operation and to answer any questions.. Although the meetings are used to improve and maintain the layout, at least one meeting per month is devoted to operating the railroad. We operate the trains like the prototypical railroads. The PikeMasters Club, founded in 1988, currently is the only model railroad club operating a permanent layout in Colorado Springs. The club have been in the City Auditorium site since 1996. The PikeMasters layout covers the periods from early steam through modern diesel power. Both standard gauge and narrow gauge trains are modeled. The standard gauge trains are operating on the popular HO model railroad scale. The narrow gauge section operates on the HOn3 scale. This narrow gauge has the prototype track that was common during the late nineteen and early twentieth century Rocky Mountain region. Many of the clubs locomotives are equipped for sound. You hear the steam engines chuff as they begin to move, as well as the chug-chug as the engine reaches running speed. Listen closely you can hear the steam engines whistle and their clanging bells. You hear the diesel locomotives as their engines increase and decrease speed. You hear the air compressors, the clanging bell, and the diesel’s horn. You can even hear the engineer open and close the door to the cab, as he is entering or leaving. The PikeMasters layout models many different facilities. The layout includes a large circus. This circus has many operating rides. A ferris wheel, tilt a-whirl, an ice rink with skaters moving around and lots more. There is a big-top and even an airplane circling above. There is a cattle-loading pen. There are several stations for boarding and de-boarding passengers. There are freight stations. There is a large yard where trains are assembled and disassembled for their movement from one shipping point to another. The layout also has a turn of the century mine where you can have a look at a crosssection of the underground operation. There is even a cemetery, where a burial is in progress
