Our members operate large scale, complex to simple model railroads in our yards with real plants, rocks & weather! View our media gallery to see some of our railroads. Some members just enjoy visiting railroads. You don’t have to have a railroad to join us. You do have to be a member to enjoy our open railroad weekends April to October each year.

GATEWAY TO THE WORLD OF GARDEN RAILROADING

Membership in the Bay Area Garden Railway Society is also a gateway to the world of garden railroading beyond the San Francisco Bay Area.

Close connections with other clubs on the West Coast enable us to bring our members garden railroading news from CA, OR, WA, NV & AZ.

Via our partnership with a global magazine – GR News – we bring members news of garden railroading across N. America and overseas.

GR NEWS

GR News, aka Garden Railroading News, is a FREE bi-monthly digital magazine, produced by Garden Railroaders for Garden Railroaders.

It features select garden railroads, how-to articles, planting tips, new product news and informative ads from many suppliers of garden railroading equipment and accessories.
 
The Bay Area Garden Railway Society helped to found GR News 4 years ago and continues to play a major role in its production. We provide a link to each issue to our members.
