We are one of the oldest and the largest garden railway society in N. America. Our members have a potpourri of railroads - steam powered, track powered and battery powered - compact to extensive - complex to simple - extensively to lightly planted. Many members just enjoy other members' railroads, including serving as part-time engineers!

A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT

We are a friendly group. Some members have been with us for 30+ years, many for just a year or 2. Some are families, some individuals. Some are building their first railroad, while others are nationally recognized modelers. Still others have no plans  to build a garden railroad; they are happy just enjoying our 125+ railroads.

New members are warmly welcomed and are the recipients of as much advice about garden railroading as they can absorb! 

ACTIVITIES & NEWS

 We have a Spring to Fall schedule of open railroad weekends across the Bay Area. We have swap meets a couple of times a year. Our 'live steamers' take their show on the road several times each year.

  During the year we publish a an extensive, digital magazine and also play a leading role in an INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE - Garden Railroading News
