This is the home of the Sierra Central Railroad modeled in HO scale, standard and narrow gauge layouts. The standard gauge is modeled on the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads between Oakland and Portola, California.


Our Mission

The Sacramento Model Railroad Historical Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing understanding of railroading and its history and impact on the development of our nation, as well as developing an understanding of railroad operations and technical skills through model railroading. The society will construct and maintain model railroads based on prototype railroading, conduct educational programs, provide public shows, provide technical information to the general public and provide a service to the local community.
