The Hintz Atlantic & Pacific Railway ("HAPY Rails") is an HO scale (1:87) modular model railroad group based in southeastern Wisconsin.

The layout currently sets up as a loop as large as 16x38', with a yard peninsula.

We meet monthly "ish" to work on the layout and/or our trains, per our calendar below.
