Join us this Saturday, May 18th and Sunday, May 19th, 2019, for our pre-Summer "Train Show and Open House." Come and see the largest HO scale layout on permanent display in the Bay Area in the only building in the entire state built especially for a model railroad. We have one of the largest layouts in the United States, declared the "Best Man-Cave in the Bay Area" by NBC-11 KNTV. We have over 4,300 feet of track covering an area of 1,800 square feet, climbing to an elevation of 4 feet. Our members operate many unique freight and passenger trains when steam was king. Plus, it "rains" in our world where night and day occur. A "storm" happens every hour on the half hour.

We are located in Larkey Park opposite the newly renovated Larkey Pool and within an easy walk of Lindsay Wildlife Experience. Check our website for more information and see pictures of our incredible layout with its mountain scenery and the meticulous attention to detail.

For more information, call (925) 937-1888, visit our website, or email us. Read our many reviews on Yelp.
