This organization is dedicated to providing education to the general public in all areas of model railroading. This is a broad area that embraces the preservation of historic and modern day railroading through prototypical accurate miniatures. Beyond this the organization attempts to preserve artifacts, memorabilia, and other items that link Savannah's railroad heritage to present day railroading.
