The WMRC was formed, as a result of not having an existing model railroad club in Windsor and Essex County, for the past twenty years. Furthermore, there is a growing number of new model railroaders who have shown an interest and emphasized the need for the formation of such a club. Finally, there are numerous model railroaders who simply do not have the available space within their own homes to build layouts. As a result, the formation of the WMRC serves as an outlet to these individuals, so that they may have a place where they may be able to bring their trains to run.
