Souris Valley Model Railroad Association
What is the SVMRRA?
The Souris Valley Model Railroad Association operates a large N Scale (1:160) model railroad layout in the basement of the Railroad Museum of Minot. Based on railroads throughout the Dakotas, the layout features more than 1,000 feet of mainline track, detailed scenery, industries, bridges, and realistic railroad operations.
Every visit offers something new to discover, from long freight trains and passenger service to detailed scenes inspired by railroad history in North Dakota and beyond.
The Souris Valley Model Railroad Association is an independent organization that meets at the Railroad Museum of Minot.
The layout is operated by volunteers and is only open when a club member is present.
