Garden State Model Railway Club, Inc.

Local Railroad & Industrial History

The Garden State Model Railway Club, Inc. is more than just an institution about railroading in 1/87 scale. Many of our members take a strong intrest in railroad and industrial history, around which some of our trips are centered. Here are some cool pages put together by the Club about the history we love to study, model, and share. Our newest additions are at the top of the list.
