Pacific Southern Railway

HO scale model railroad club located in Rocky Hill, NJ. We are a 501c3 non-profit corporation It has been in operation ever since.

The Pacific Southern model railroad club is located in Rocky Hill NJ. The club was formed in 1964 by Bob Latham, who invited a number of local modelers to help him run a Christmas holiday show on his layout for the benefit of local emergency services. Buoyed by their success and a desire to continue meetings and operation, the Pacific Southern was born. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 New Jersey Corporation.

What an absolutely incredible weekend! Thank you to the more than a thousand people who came to visit the 46th Annual Pacific Southern Railway Holiday Train Show sponsored by Walthers Trains!

We were blown away by the community response to help support our local emergency services. A special thanks to all the fire and EMT workers who volunteered their time to help, all our friends and family who made the weekend possible, the Somerset 4-H Trainmasters club and all the members of Pacific Southern Railway who continue to build and grow the hobby.
