Model Train Show in Santa Susanna

 

The club's expansive model layout represents Southern Pacific Railroad's Coastline in the mid-50s from Union Station in Los Angeles to Seattle, Wash. It is a constant project in progress.

Some of the work can be done independently and some must be done right on the layout. Goudsward made the bridge at home, but must construct the work around the bridge on the layout itself. "Buildings can be done at home and then brought and put in place," said Goudsward.

Tobias Vincent drives all the way from Palmdale to be a part of this club. He's a new member, who recently completed the six month required apprenticeship, and he pointed out the miniature model of the Santa Susana Depot, which houses the model trains.

The room is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 1-4 p.m., and the docents work the trains for the visitors.
