	TMRC History
		The Tech Model Railroad Club (TMRC) was formed in 1946, and within a year had obtained space in MIT's Building 20, a "temporary building" built for radar development during World War II.
		The Club's faculty advisor, EE professor Carlton E. Tucker, had a life-long interest in telephony, taught courses in that field, and had many friends in the industry through whom surplus telephone equipment came to TMRC in abundance.
		TMRC was probably one of the first student activities to make use of computers.

		Another feature of the system was a digital clock on the dispatch board, which was itself something of a wonder in the days before cheap LEDs and seven-segment displays.
		Forty years later that connection is still very much alive, and a recent dictionary of hacker slang accordingly includes a number of entries from a recent revision of the TMRC dictionary (via the Hacker Jargon File).
		An unusual feature of the layout is an 18-story building from the MIT campus, replicated in HO scale and wired with an array of window lights which can be used as a display for playing Tetris, in reference to a legendary (but apocryphal) MIT hack.

		As expected, the club's main focus has always been the development of home-built control solutions, using the skills they were learning at school.
		Clever puns and a special slang lingo have been a long-standing tradition at TMRC, which is considered by many to the birthplace of "hacking" (not the destructive intrusion of computers, but a quick, inelegant solution to a problem).
		Everyone I met down at the club was very gracious, and spent many hours with us explaining what they were working on, sharing techniques, and discussing model railroading in general.

		In 1946, when John Moore 49 and Walter Marvin 54 started the Tech Model Railroad Club, they couldnt have foreseen that 60 years later, long after highways and airplanes replaced passenger trains, students would still be hammering away at the track.
		By starting a club, Moore and Marvin were able to secure a room on campus to house the layout and pool resources with other club members to defray costs.
