The club welcomes beginners and modelers at all levels of experience. Many club members are expert modelers whose award winning works have appeared in national magazines. We are happy to pass along tips, techniques, and information.
Visitors are always welcome.
Come through the rear door. Business meetings are held on the third Friday of the month. The whole thing started with an ad placed at the San Diego Whistle Stop train store by our founding father Terry McCann. Our first meeting was held at Terry's house with Marty and Jan Young, Clyde Farrell and Bill Fannon in the spring of 1972. Things continued on like this, meeting at each other's houses until one night it was decided to form a club called the Southern California N Gaugers.
