Welcome

The Tidewater Southern Model Railroad Club models one of the early railroads of the Central Valley of California. The HO layout features significant landmarks for the towns along the original right-of-way. Our members bring their own locomotive power and rolling stock. Member interests range from modeling the 1950's thru today's heavy modern rolling stock. Steam or diesel both make an appearance at all meets.

HO and N gauge layouts meet the needs of most enthusiasts. As with any model railroad, the layouts continuously evolve which creates learning possibilities for new members. The HO layout which has components dating back at least 30 years is under contiual upgrading. The N gauge layout is very new and many projects are near completion.

Both layouts are DCC powered (Digital Command Control).
