Welcome to The Gold Coast Modular Railroad Club's website.

Our mission is to cultivate interest in model railroading, its design, construction, maintenance and operation as a hobby.

We are an HO scale model railroad club based in the Murphy Automobile Museum. 1530 Eastman Ave, Oxnard, California. HOWEVER !

The club was notified this weekend that the Murphy Auto Museum will close at the end of June, vacating the space on Eastman at the end of July. So, once again, the GCMRC is looking for a new home. If you know of a space in Ventura County that's available and willing to rent to a non-profit, let us know.    info@gcmrc.org

We still intend to display the traveling layout at the Ventura County Fair this summer and are looking for other opportunities to show it off.

We are looking for new prospective members of all ages! We welcome anyone who would like to participate in our work on the layout, regardless of ability level. Members are entitled to operate their locomotives anytime the Museum is open, currently Saturday & Sunday, 10 AM to 4 PM. The Murphy Museum has frequent events at which members are encouraged to operate their equipment on the Railroad. You can bring and use your own locomotives along with either your own rolling stock or use some of the club stock we have on the layout. Members have run trains with as many as 100 cars, pulled by 4 or 5 locos. A truly impressive sight!
