Our members are already busy prepping our layouts for our first public event of 2026, the 42nd All-American Get Together car show!
Prepping the layouts mainly includes cleaning the track (whether by hand or a special track cleaning train) and dusting/vacuuming the scenery, but can also include electrical work and test running show trains.
Come visit us during the show March 28th and 29th! Get your tickets at good-guys.com!

We absolutely love the new Union Pacific executive passenger cars from !
One of our members recently showed off the new UPP 2066 Power Car and UPP 420 Theater/Inspection Car “Fox River” and both cars look fantastic (and the power car sounds fantastic as well)! The power car is definitely a must-have for anyone wanting to build a realistic modern UP executive train!

We love to recognize our members involved in other railroad-related activities outside our club when we get the chance! In this case, several members, including HO Scale member and ACCRS Secretary Dean Lewis (pictured), took part in the Great Train Show last weekend selling model trains and helping to operate other layouts on display in the show building!

Any fans of 1st gen diesels? It was an EMD F-Unit takeover last night on our HO layout with F3 and F7 diesels representing three different railroads: Southern Pacific (Black Widow paint), Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe (Warbonnet paint), and Amtrak (Phase I paint). Which of these paint schemes is your favorite?

Goodguys 35th Fuel Curve Autumn Get-Together this past weekend. Lots of cool cars (including a rat rod 1963 Peterbilt truck) and cool trains running on our layouts including the Milwaukee Road’s “Hiawatha” and Great Northern Railroad’s “Empire Builder” on our O Scale layout and Metrolink, the Southern Pacific “Daylight”, and even BART and the locomotive from “Grand Theft Auto V” on our HO layout!
A big thank you to our friends for inviting us to be a part of their Pleasanton shows as always!
