Belmont Shore Model Railroad Club
San Pedro, CA - In 1971, a small group of modelers gathered together in the Belmont Shore City Library with the intent to form the country's first N-scale model railroad club. Today the club is one of the country's premiere layouts. Located in Angels Gate Park in San Pedro, we are open every Tuesday.
Built in an old Army barracks, the layout occupies the second story resulting in a pike that measures 25 by 90 feet. The track plan is ten scale miles of double track from the city of Belmont to Bakersfield, plus a single track line to San Jaoquin. Past San Jaoquin, a branch line is under construction to Carbondale where it will interchange with a narrow gauge railroad. A unique feature of this track plan is a train will never pass through a scene more than once, except of course on the loop. This gives the appearance that a train is actually going somewhere, not just running around in circles.
