  Antelope Valley N' Scalers

Antelope Valley N' Scalers

http://www.avns.av.org/

The AV N' Scalers was founded in August of 1994. The first meeting was held at the Lancaster, Ca. Library. There were five people who showed up. After talking about starting an "N" scale model railroad, it was decided to go the "NTRAK" route. The Club started by building four 4ft. corner modules. Today we are a very diverse group of very active guys and gals from Santa Barbara to Victorville, from Riverside to California City. We are truly a club "From the Desert to the Sea" and most of Southern California.

By building your module to NTRAK specifications, you can use your module with other clubs all over the United States. There are even some groups in other countries who build NTRAK modules. We, as clubs or individuals, often join other modular 'N' Scale clubs, in order to enlarge the layout for special public, or NTRAK conventions.

Narrow minded, want to be? Never Done and Always Changing, the California South Coast Modular (CSC) On30 Model Railroad group's mission is to bring the joy of narrow gauge trains to all ages at train shows. On30? On30 means the models are O scale (1:48 running on 32mm gauge track). The 'n'signifies Narrow gauge, 30 means 30 inches or 2.5 feet rail spacing. Many groups in other states and several other California On30 Modular groups build to a common standard that allow us to combine operations when displaying at shows and meets. Currently, CSC frequently operates in conjunction with the California Central Valley Modular (Yahoo group: On30CCVMod) and the California Central Coast Modular (Yahoo group: CCCModOn30).

  Riverside Live Steamers

Riverside Live Steamers

http://www.steamonly.org/ P.O. Box 5512, Riverside, CA 92517

Back in the 1950's, Joe Hunter, a well known Riverside industrialist, realized that steam locomotives were disappearing from the railroads that passed through Riverside. Knowing that future generations would not know the excitement of seeing, smelling and hearing the sounds of steam locomotives, he had a vision. Why not duplicate a steam train in miniature? RLS is pleased to offer thousands of people an opportunity to see, hear, and smell what steam locomotion is all about. We like to think Mr. Hunter would be very proud of our accomplishments during the past forty-six years.
