The Station Inn Mug Club

About the Mug Club — Mug Club members are the regulars, friends, and crew who have made The Station Inn what it is since Tom Davis opened it in 1993. Many remember Tom's original black coffee mugs that helped make the Inn so special.  Each member’s mug lives on the custom shelf in our Common Room (built by Karl Hummer).  Membership is informal, and by invitation only.  View All Mug Club Members

Patrick Moore is one of the newer mugs on the shelf, but he arrived with a crowd.

Patrick, of Cecil, Pennsylvania, retired from the Army as a colonel after 33 years of service. These days he works for the Pittsburgh Pirates and at PPG Paints Arena, home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and he’s a substitute teacher in the Fort Cherry School District.

He’s also the founder of Iron City N Scale and co-host of the Iron City Roundhouse Report. Like a lot of folks, he enjoyed running model trains as a kid and grew into a prototype railfan too.

First Trip: 2024

Patrick first came in 2024 with a small group from Iron City N Scale. He was overwhelmed by the hospitality, and by getting to hang out with his friends on the porch, watching train after train.

In Patrick’s Words

Why We Come Back

“It’s the only place where all of our friends can meet and enjoy railfanning. And don’t forget the great breakfast.”

Standing Orders

“We always come in September for Altoona N Scale Weekend.”
