Currently the club has dismantled the layout that was in the basement of the Campbell house in Southern Pines which had been operated there since 1987. The club moved some of the layout to the Aberdeen Union Station in 2007 and is currently operating but undergoing continued construction and modification. The Aberdeen layout depicts portions of Main, South, and Poplar streets, in addition to State routes US 1 and US 5.
