Model Railroading Places To Visit

Flemington in New Jersey is home to "Northlanz", which has 8 actual miles of HO track and 100+ model trains running at one time. 25 years went into sculpting 35 foot mountains and building 40 foot bridges. It features thousands of handmade buildings and over 10,000 freight cars. Incredible!

Another model railroading place worth a visit is the Pasadena Sierra Pacific Club, located in Pasadena, CA, which operates the Sierra Pacific Lines. This is one of the largest HO Scale operating model railroads in the world covering almost 5000 square feet. The model railroad has over 30,000 feet of hand laid steel rail. The 1700 foot single to quad track mainline with ten cabs allows for operating of up to ten 30 foot trains (up to 60 cars long). Yard panels throughout the model railroad allow for operation of another 15 to 20 model trains. Worth a visit!

Why Join Model Train Clubs


Staff at your model train hobby store probably have contacts at the local model train club and may be able to put you in touch with the model train club members. Most model train enthusiasts are more than helpful and gladly give you the benefit of their experience and introduce you to others with a similar interest in the model train hobby. This way, you can learn insider secrets and model train tips and tricks.

Don't think that everyone in a model train club is experienced. Most model train clubs enjoy a mix of long-time experienced railroaders and new model train club members. It is a good place to learn, because most model train clubs encourage the exchange of ideas between club members. They swap train photos, show train films, discuss model train techniques, network with other model train clubs and even have guest speakers from time to time. Joining a model train club can be truly rewarding experience in terms of what you can learn, the people you meet and the fun you have.
