The Hostlers are supporting the development of a model train museum in the Ogden Newgate Mall. The museum has just selected a board of officers to develop and manage the museum. A permanent themed HO layout is being planned and construction will soon begin. In the meantime the Hostlers have set up some modules as an attraction. Hostler members have been taking shifts running trains on the modules for the entertainment of mall shoppers….and themselves of course. Admission is free.


Click here for photos of the beginning activity in building the new permanent layout for this new Museum. On Friday, May 21 a group of Hostlers met and began cutting plywood to be assembled into the framework for the layout.

Who Are We?


The Hostler Model Railroad Club was founded in February 1988 in Ogden as an all scale group. By June of ‘88 the club had grown to fourteen members.

Monthly meetings were held in member’s homes. Within a year, an HO module group was formed to promote model railroading at local train shows. The Hostler modules have been shown in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and Idaho.

While all scales are represented, HO is the primary scale of most members. The club has grown to nearly 180 members in 2004, mostly from the Wasatch Front area of Utah. They generally meet once a month at the Ogden Union Station every third Wednesday. New members are welcome anytime.

Under the long term leadership of president Mike Murphy, the club has gained in reputation and leadership among model railroad clubs in the west. Our annual model train festival the first weekend of March draws upwards of 8,000 people during a 3 day show.

The Hostlers also has a strong public service record through donations of monetary gifts to several local charities, the Ogden Union Station and participation in the annual Ogden Christmas Village at the Ogden Municipal Park.
