What is NJS?
Founded in the 1970s, we are a N scale model railroad club.
Founded in the 1970s, we are a N scale model railroad club.
Our railroad(s) are all built to travel, adhering to the NTRAK and TTRAK standards.
NJS is a non-profit registered and in good standing with the State of New Jersey. Our mission is to educate in the techniques of model railroading and to share our enjoyment of the hobby and craft with our communities.
Drawn together by our shared interest, our membership spans the east coast including Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Our longtime clubmate, Cheston (Chet) Moore, passed away in March 2024. Known to us as a wonderful modeler, Chet would often entertain the club as well with his gift for music.
We are humbled and honored that Chet's family has requested donations on his behalf to our club.

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/
