HO Scale Model Railroading

The HO Division is one of the club’s most active groups, with over 50 members and more than 20 home layouts throughout The Villages. Members regularly host tours and operating sessions, creating a friendly environment for learning, sharing ideas, and enjoying the hobby together.

Led by co‑chairs Tim Fahey and Wally Filkins, the division has a four‑member steering team that organizes events and oversees module construction. Members have access to a 10×20 foot workspace for several months each year, used for maintaining modules or building new ones.

The division has a sectional layout that combines club and member modules into flexible setups as large as 32×46 feet—perfect for shows and for members who want to participate without building a full home layout.

The HO Division is active in all club shows and offers guidance to anyone interested in building or improving a layout. For more information, contact **Tim Fahey at 352‑391‑5520**.
