TECO is managed and operated by volunteers from the following Model RR clubs:
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 since August 2007.
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 two to four club trips each year, including at least one train ride.

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 usually held at Sand Creek Police Station, 950 Academy Park Loop, Colorado Springs, the second Friday of the month at 7:00pm. Come join us. See our website for more information and check out the latest issues of the Milepost Monthly Newsletter for any changes.
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.

Kids Are the Future of Model Railroading
Welcome to our most exciting model railroad club just for kids. We've all read a lot these days about how to get young people involved in model railroading. We read it in all of the major model railroading magazines. One article says "Kids are the future of model railroading." Another asked, "How can we get young people involved in this hobby with all of the other things kids can do."
A lot of people are talking about it, but how many are actually doing something about it? It's not enough to just talk to kids about model railroading or take them to model train shows; we need to really get them involved and keep them interested in model railroading.
Well here is your opportunity, join the Youth In MRR club. Come to the TECO show and see what is going on and how much fun the kids are having.

The club was founded October 13, 1989 for N-scale model railroaders to meet and to foster interest in model railroading. There were 38 charter members, one of which was Ron Theisman, owner of Train Showcase. The club's first location was in the Plaza of the Rockies downtown Colorado Springs.
