		Antelope Valley N' Scalers http://www.avns.av.org/ The AV N' Scalers was founded in August of 1994. The first meeting was held at the Lancaster, Ca. Library. There were five people who showed up. After talking about starting an "N" scale model railroad, it was decided to go the "NTRAK" route. The Club started by building four 4ft. corner modules. Today we are a very diverse group of very active guys and gals from Santa Barbara to Victorville, from Riverside to California City. We are truly a club "From the Desert to the Sea" and most of Southern California.

On30 means the models are O scale (1:48 running on 32mm gauge track). The 'n'signifies Narrow gauge, 30 means 30 inches or 2.5 feet rail spacing. Many groups in other states and several other California On30 Modular groups build to a common standard that allow us to combine operations when displaying at shows and meets.

		Riverside Live Steamers http://www.steamonly.org/ P.O. Box 5512, Riverside, CA 92517 Back in the 1950's, Joe Hunter, a well known Riverside industrialist, realized that steam locomotives were disappearing from the railroads that passed through Riverside. Knowing that future generations would not know the excitement of seeing, smelling and hearing the sounds of steam locomotives, he had a vision. Why not duplicate a steam train in miniature? RLS is pleased to offer thousands of people an opportunity to see, hear, and smell what steam locomotion is all about. We like to think Mr. Hunter would be very proud of our accomplishments during the past forty-six years.
