La Mesa Model Railroad Club
After 2 1/2 years of major construction to build the mezzanine and public viewing area, we are now in high gear to finish the dream started over 20 years ago building the best ever historical model railroad! Current projects include building switches, installing benchwork, adding details, buildings and scenery, adding to our rolling stock and wiring new railroad for DCC. Building is continuing from Mojave to Tehachapi, with enhancements to the existing layout such as super detailing, as well as completion of scenery at the Loop through Walong. As of October 2003, we have resumed Time Table/Train Order Operation Sessions. Club one day Time Table Train Order sessions have been held, and are being planned for the coming year. November on Tehachapi and Winter on Tehachapi are two-day operating sessions that invite operators from all over the United States to take over the railroad and operate in real time. We have also added Modern Operations, which consist of today's operation over Tehachapi with the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroads, with an occasional Amtrak re-route added in. La Mesa Model Railroad Club is located inside the San Diego Model Railroad Museum, in the Casa De Balboa building in Balboa Park, San Diego, California. The museum is open Tuesday through Friday 11: 00 am to 4: 00 pm, and Saturday/Sunday from 11: 00 am to 5: 00 pm.
