Our club was founded over 10 years ago by a group of people who wanted to have fun running Lionel and compatible trains. HTOS is dedicated to promoting research of 3-rail O gauge trains and fostering the education of people in the field of model railroading. Elections are held at our Annual Main business meeting, usually held on the third Tuesday of January .
Several committees are available for members to join that help shape different aspects of our club.
We have a set of Bylaws on file that all members receive a copy of once joining our organization. Most rules set forth in the bylaws are fairly simple regarding club organization, membership rights, and general conduct of the membership. In case of conflict with the information presented in this web page, the offical copy of the bylaws, on file in the club, override any information presented here. Spouses, and especially children of members, are welcome and encouraged to participate in our organization. We like to promote a fun and family oriented atmosphere where all feel welcome.
