The California Central Coast is one of the most active On30 (O scale) model railroad groups in the state. They have one simple goal – To have fun operating their On30 modular railroad and sharing that fun with as many people as they can. Their railroad is freelanced and set in ‘central’ California prior the 1940’s.
In April 2005, a small group of model railroaders with an interest in On30 modules came together to form the group. After exploring various module standards and the practices of other modular groups from other scales, they opted to focus their module design standard after the work done by the Texas Outlaws On30 group with a focus on interconnection and reliable operation. Their first public event was in February 2006 with a modest collection of five modules – some with only the beginnings of scenery in place. Since then, they have displayed at over 90 public and hobbyist events with layouts featuring dozens of nicely designed modules.
For more information about the club, please see their website at On30@CCC-On30.org.


Display dates: Friday April 7 – Wednesday April 12
Peninsula NTRAK is an N scale model railway club founded in 1991 and based on the San Francisco peninsula. The club is known for the high standard of quality and detail that its members achieve. Peninsula NTRAK modules are built to international NTRAK standards, which allows the modules to be joined to others around the world. The club has participates in numerous local shows each year and many members have take their modules to conventions up and down the west coast, including the national conventions of the National Model Railroad Association in Sacramento in 2011 and in Portland, Oregon in August of 2015.

Exploiting the advantages of N scale, which is just 1/160 the size of real trains, the layout can run the long trains that represent North American mainline railroading in the U.S., Canada and Mexico – with occasional visits by trains from other parts of the world, including high speed bullet trains, Caltrain and even Thomas, The Tank Engine!

Swiss Narrow Gauge
Display dates: Saturday April 8 – Monday April 10
Swiss Narrow H0m Gauge
The Meter Gauge Module Group runs trains that are HO scale (1:87) but with a smaller gauge of 12mm between the rails instead of the standard 16.5mm gauge. There are many meter gauge lines in Switzerland run by private companies such as Rhaetische Bahn (RhB), Furka Oberalp (FO), Brig Visp Zermatt (BVZ), Montreux Oberland Bernois (MOB), and Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB). We run models of the famous Glacier Express and Bernina Express trains, as well as local passenger trains and freight trains from all these companies.
In addition to the pleasant Swiss scenery our modules, we have two particularly attractive areas, a model of the Chamby station on the MOB line, and a stone arch viaduct that goes into a tunnel reminiscent of the Landwasser Viaduct on the RhB network. We run single track mainlines with sidings in stations, and we also incorporate elevation changes in our track, with one module that has the track cross over itself as it loops around.
