Club History and Other Information

Several navigation buttons back on the main page will take you to other pages describing our various club events and projects. Another button will let you see our club's sectional layout and how we use it to introduce model railroading to the public.  Check out the information button to learn more about the various terms and definitions used in model railroading.  The WEB links button has a list of many clubs, dealers and vendors of railroading products, and the RR News button will connect you to news stories from around the world - all dealing with railroads.

Our club has regular and informal meetings to improve and prepare our layout for public viewing, plus we have presentations by members and visitors on many aspects of modeling, scenery, and photography. We also take occasional outings to visit railroad interests in the Northern Utah area.

But most of all, we have fun! Come and join us if you have an interest in S gauge trains..

About the Golden Spike "S" Gaugers

Club Purpose
Based on A.C. Gilbert Inc. American Flyer trains, "S" scale modeling has grown into a wide multi-faceted hobby. Many of our members are collectors and collector/operators of classic American Flyer trains. Others, who had a start with American Flyer trains have turned to other aspects of the hobby, such as scale and narrow gauge. And some are still "armchair" modelers who will someday have a layout when the time is right!

The Golden Spike "S" Gaugers club is dedicated to promoting all aspects of S gauge model railroading, including:

The GSAF  meets monthly, except June and July, to discuss club business and activities, such as workshops, seminars, road trips - and just plain having fun!  We promote the "S" hobby by displaying our sectional layout at various train shows in the area and have won many "First Place for Presentation" awards.

Membership
Based in the Northern Utah region, our club has members from Provo to Ogden. We welcome all members interested in our goal of promoting and supporting all aspects of model railroading in S Gauge. Annual dues are currently $12.
