Welcome to S-Gauge <\/strong>Model Railroading<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Thanks for visiting our website. The Pittsburgh S-Gaugers (PSG) is an organization\u00a0dedicated to the education of its members and the general public about model railroading in S-gauge (1\/64 scale; 3\/16″ = 1′) trains. American Flyer (AF)\u00a0is S-gauge size. (Please see the Scale-S page for an explanation of the terms scale and gauge.)\u00a0<\/em>We have\u00a0members primarily in southwest Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia and eastern Ohio. Our membership is open to anyone with an interest in S-Gauge model railroading. We publish a monthly newsletter and generally meet twice a month in homes, social halls or restaurants. The PSG is a Pennsylvania 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit corporation.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to promote the hobby of S-Gauge model railroading\u00a0and to disseminate information regarding the manufacture, history, collecting, operating and modeling of S-Gauge trains and layouts, as well as the maintenance and repair\u00a0of these trains and accessories,\u00a0old\u00a0and new.\u00a0As part of our education outreach to the general public, we display our layouts at regional train shows, such as the Greenberg’s Train and Toy Show and the Carnegie Science Center’s\u00a0annual winter “Locomotion Weekend”. Our interactive hi-rail layout features pushbuttons around the layout that children and parents can use to operate a variety of exciting accessories. Our scale modular layout provides an opportunity for visitors to the layout to\u00a0operate trains utilizing the latest hi-tech operating systems.<\/p>\n
