Youth In Model Railroading seeks help moving into new space

A Westminster train hobby shop will get a $2,500 boost to help it find a larger space.

Premier Members Credit Union announced it would provide a $2,500 matching grant to help the Youth In Model Railroading Train Shoppe create a larger space, at 3973 W. 73rd Ave.

The shop, which is run entirely by volunteers, is dedicated to children ages 8-18. The organi- zation has helped educate and support the next generation of rail enthusiasts for more than 25 years by teaching techniques in modeling, electronics and the artistry of model railroading. It’s done this while providing members a common outlet for sharing their passion for trains.

The train shop was started after a fundraiser in 2016 in a small 120-square-foot unit that had been donated by the owner of the building. Any product inside the shop came from donations to the club, and it is completely run by volunteer youth members of the club. Open only on Fridays and Saturdays, all profits go toward the Denver Youth in Model Railroading.

5.00% APY * 6 OR 9 MONTH CD.

Choose your term.

Beginning in 2023, the 500-square-foot unit next door to the Train Shoppe was vacated and volunteers noted that moving expanding into that space would more than double the shop’s size. It needed to be cleaned and repainted, plus new display shelving, lights, and other miscellaneous items to make the new space workable. The new Grand Re-opening is now scheduled for Aug 12.

“The new larger space will improve the Train Shoppe with more space for customers, better displays, space for small layouts and more displays for inventory,” said Larry Price, manager and conductor.
