Model Railroaders Hubert Craft, left, and Francis D. Gammon, right, are sitting on the floor beside their model railroad station and model trains on October 24, 1936. The Model Railroaders are an organization of Tacoma men interested in building and operating miniature transportation systems. The 25 members meet twice a month. The group is building their own rail transportation system complete with tunnels, scenery, freight yards, depots, crossing warnings, electric signals, tracks, cars and locomotives from plans and specifications complete in every detail. Francis Gammon operates a service station at 920 6th Ave. and has been building trains for the past 3 years. (T.Times 10/24/1936, pg. 1) (WSHS, same series as D721)
