Welcome

Because Shannondell at Valley Forge is a gated retirement community, anyone who wishes to visit the railroad must arrange for a specific date and time to do so. Please send your request by e-mail to ShannondellMRC@gmail.com. Non-residents must be accompanied by a resident. Within this limitation, all are welcome.

You may visit the Shannondell Model Railroad anytime the Train Room door is open, although the railroad may not be fully operational if maintenance or enhancement work is underway. Even so, you will learn something of the work that goes into creating and improving the Shannondell Model Railroad.

If you will give us some advance notice, however, we will do our best to have the room open and the trains operating as you request.

We also schedule Open Houses during selected holiday seasons. See Events & News for specifics.

Whenever Shannondell residents have a special occasion with family or friends and you would like to visit the SMR, we will do our best to help you schedule a specific time. Please contact one of the following:

Bruce Wintersteen 7286
Rich Keckley 5224
Bob Watson 6456
Paul Tartar 6854
