We're delighted you've found our website. Please take a moment to explore and discover all that we have to offer.

Our community includes all National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) members in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties of Southern California. We're a passionate and talented group of model railroaders, prototype enthusiasts, and general hobbyists who love sharing our interests, no matter the scale or focus. Among us, you'll find expert model builders, scenic artists, historians, prototype rivet counters, scale operators, electronics wizards, technology gurus, and creative geniuses. What unites us is our shared love for model railroading.

We enjoy gathering for Division meets and Regional conventions to celebrate and share our hobby. Whether you're an experienced modeler or just starting out, there's a place for you here.
