Wm. K. Walthers Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of model railroad products based in Milwaukee, Wis., recently announced that it’s sponsoring the Pacific Southern Ry., an HO scale model railroad club in Rocky Hill, N.J.
“We’re pleased to support the Pacific Southern Railway and help elevate awareness of model railroading,” said Stacey Walthers Naffah, president of Wm. K. Walthers Inc., in a press release sent to Model Railroader. “Clubs are vital to connecting hobbyists of all ages and experience levels. We deeply appreciate James and Melyssa Murray’s commitment to keeping the hobby thriving at the Pacific Southern and beyond.”
Murray, star of the television show Impractical Jokers, added in the same press release: “I’ve loved model trains my entire life — my best childhood memories are of building layouts with my father. That’s the power of this hobby — it brings generations of families together. We’re proud to announce something unique and different. We will be partnering with Walthers Trains. They have been so supportive of us and clubs and the hobby in general. And we are so proud to partner with them to grow model railroading together.”
