French Broad e'N'pire NTRAK Club

The French Broad E‘N’pire NTRAK Club is a model railroad organization consisting of 14 members who model in "N" scale, the majority of whom live in Hendersonville. We also have members in Brevard, Asheville, Waynesville, Saluda and Lake Lure. Our club has been in existence for over 13 years and meets weekly at various locations. We own 30 NTRAK modules which are currently in storage but used for several shows each year. We have a business meeting on the first Wednesday. Our dues are $60 per year ($5/mo.) We put on a model railroad show and swap meet called "Autumn Rails" each year in October and include a large NTRAK layout as an operating display.

Our club gets it’s name from the Greenville and French Broad River Railroad, an actual railroad chartered in 1855 to operate between Greenville and Asheville. The real railroad was never constructed, but lives in history and as interpreted on our model railroad layout as the French Broad River Railroad.
