The Mason Dixon Large Scale Railroad Society, Inc. is a not-for-profit, non-stock, Maryland corpora-tion consisting of individuals and families from the Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware area. Most equip-ment, structures, and accessories belong to individuals attending the activities and functions. The Society owns and maintains items of common need as shown below, and a storage shed located at a member's home.
The Society maintains four corner modules, skirting, plexiglass shields, and transformers. Individual members own and maintain modules finished to suit their interests, built to standards adopted by the Society. The complete modular layout can be set up when an appropriate space is available and members commit to bring their modules for setup. For running the display, members sign up for time slots and run their own trains.
Floor or ground layouts can be set up on an impromptu basis by just a few members. They can be set up on a floor using indoor/outdoor carpeting, or outside using mulch. Mulch can be sculptured to provide an over-and-under track design. The Society owns indoor/outdoor carpeting, transformers, track, model trees, structures, and a few trains.
General membership meetings are held several times a year to shre information and discuss group activities. Meetings may be held at a member's home or at a group display or sctivity location. Board meetings are generally held at one of the board members' homes and are open to any member.
Meetings have provided opportunities to scratchbuild railroad cars, learn about modifying equipment, work on a member's garden railroad, share details about national events and new offerings from manufacturers.
