Welcome to the Southern California S-Gaugers Club web site. We are a group of like-minded Model Railroad enthusiasts who collect, model, and operate S-gauge model trains. Our home is the Southern California area where we meet on the second Saturday each month to exchange information about S-gauge model trains and plan club activities. The club also operates a modular layout that is displayed at model train shows throughout Southern California. Club members' modules use Code 172 rail to accommodate Hi-rail, AF, and scale wheels. Our mission is to promote all phases of S-gauge model railroading, set up a network of S-gaugers in the Southern California area, and help club members with their modeling. Visitors are always welcome.

If you are new to the modular concept, you will find specifications on the  ' Modular Layout '  page so that you can build your own module and be a part of the club's layout at exhibits and train shows.

The  ' Resources '  page provides information on several model railroad stores in Southern California that stock and support S-gauge railroading.

If you would like to join the Southern California S-Gaugers Club, you will find information and a membership application form on the  ' Membership '  page.

The  ' Calendar '  page is updated frequently and lists the club's meeting and exhibit schedules as well as other upcoming model railroad events of interest.

If you need to contact a club officer, you will find information on the  ' Contact '  page. Our club officers are real S-gauge enthusiasts and are willing to help you get started if you are new to S Gauge.

The  ' News '  page shows photos of members' individual activities as well as past events where our club displayed its modular layout. Members in good standing are given a timeslot to operate their personal 'rolling stock' at these events.

And finally, every third year (2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2023*) our club sponsors S Fest West in Southern California. This year's Fest was held on Saturday, September 9, 2023. This year's event was a day of S-gauge camaraderie, vendors, door prizes, silent and live auctions, a workshop and evening banquet with a "you don't want to miss" guest speaker.



The previous fest was held on Saturday, May 18, 2019.  A wrap-up with numerous photos can be viewed on the  ' S Fest West '  page. In case you missed any of the club's previous fests and would like to add to your collection, a limited quantity of commemorative cars (Morrell Reefer & Sohio Tank Car) are still available. Order forms can be downloaded on the  ' S Fest West '  page.
