Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

NJS does not have a clubhouse nor a permanent layout. Our model railroads are built to the modular NTRAK and TTRAK standards. The standards allow us to transport easily and combine with other groups during train shows. Learn more about the standards at https://nrail.org/
