The Mudhens - Arizona Division (HOn3)

The Mudhens are a club promoting narrow gauge railroading, modeled in HO scale. Formally known as The Modular HO Narrow Gauge Society, the club was founded in the early 1980’s by the late Bob Rands of RailCraft/Micro Engineering in St. Louis, Missouri. The club now includes members in multiple locations in five states.

Original modules are 72" long by a width of 24”. A backdrop is usually built in making the standard height 24". However, other module sizes have recently been built and incorporated in shows providing great flexibility for individual members. Operation is by Digital Command Control. The club often sets up at local or national venues. The model railroads we set up may include more than twenty modules. A featured sectional group of tables exists in St. Louis, MO and consists of an eight-table loop plus one table for connecting a branch line. Other fine modular and sectional groups exist in Payson and Tucson, Arizona; Chicago, Illinois, a suburb of Dallas, Texas and Colorado Springs and Windsor, Colorado.
