Muncie & Western Model Railroad Club

The Muncie & Western Model Railroad Club (MWMRC) was established in 1990 by a group of model railroad enthusiasts. It is named after the Muncie & Western Railroad Company, known as "The Ball Line." 


In 2023, the Muncie Children's Museum and our club collaborated with TW TrainWorx  to create the 30' x 60' O Gauge layout.

Muncie & Western Model Railroad Club's Layout at the Muncie Children's Museum

    Newest Additions to the layout

    The new Behavior Associates of Indiana Early Learner's Center building was added to the Muncie Children's Museum layout. The building was created by a club member Kris Keeler Sedgwick Models 

    We pay homage to the sci-fi movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) Directed by Steven Spielberg. The first half of the movie takes place in (fictional) Muncie, Indiana. The truck in the film is a 1973 Ford F-250 3/4 ton, the yellow work truck driven by Roy Neary, played by Richard Dreyfuss. In the movie, the truck is stopped at a railroad crossing on Cornbread Road when lights from a UFO shine down on the truck. The truck was created by club member Doug Castle 


    Muncie Children's Museum

    Located at 515 S. High Street, Muncie, IN 47305
