About the Mid-South
Division
|
Welcome!
The Mid-South Division is located in the Northern tier of Alabama counties
between Mississippi and Georgia, with the Southeastern corner dipping down
to Gadsden, AL and the Northern border extending up to Fayetteville, TN.
There are approximately 60 members spread throughout the Division, with most
of the members living in the Huntsville area.
The division meets the first Saturday of
each month at the Decatur Union Depot, 701 Railroad St, Decatur, AL. The
meetings begin at 9:30A.M. We usually have a short business meeting followed by
a clinic of general interest to the membership and an operating session on the
Decatur Union Depot layout.
Our efforts in support of the Decatur Union
Depot Museum were recognized by the Decatur/Morgan County Tourism Bureau with the
Good Neighbor Award. The museum, with its Division supported layout, has become a
key attraction for visitors. The layout’s 90% scratch built structures were built
and donated by Division members. Operating sessions follow our monthly meetings.
The Division Layout Committee has built an
outdoor G-Scale layout on the passenger platform adjacent to the observation deck.
An Eagle Scout project added a TimeSaver switching puzzle to a portion of the
G-Scale layout.
