--- The California Central Coast Narrow Gauge Railroad ---

On30 Modular Group

Background & Spec's

The California Central Coast group has one simple goal – To have fun building and operating an On30 modular railroad. Our railroad is freelanced and set in 'central' California during the early part of the 1900’s.

We’ve drawn our inspiration from the following On30 groups – Yosemite Short Line, Narragansett Bay Railway & Navigation, the Texas & Hill Country Outlaws, Free-mo groups, and others. Our standards focus on interconnection; not module shape. On30 modules have all the benefits of O scale detail while sharing the some of the compactness found in HO and S scales. The modules themselves can depict pretty much anything. The only real constraint is the available transport space in your vehicle. The current modules in operation range from 24"x30" up to a multi-sectional unit measuring roughly 8'x12'. Collectively, we have about 115 linear feet of modules with more in various stages of construction. The particulars on the module interface specs can be found at the link below (you'll need Acrobat reader).

We are based in the greater San Francisco Bay Area region. Building a module is not a requirement to participate - just an interest in On30 and having fun. We generally get together on a regular basis and have public operating sessions roughly monthly from Fall through Spring. The group has put on displays at O Scale West, the Great American Train Show, the 2006 & 2008 Pacific Region NMRA Conventions, Great Train Expo events in the Bay Area, Just Train's Open House, and the World's Greatest Hobby on Tour.

Our thanks to everyone who came out to see us in 2008, and at O Scale West and the Cow Palace.

We are now on our annual break. Our next events will be in September 2009.
