In this episode of Beyond the Pages, we share the fascinating history of the Pacific Southern Railway Club—a model‑railroading legacy born back in the 1960s, kept alive in a 5,000‑sq. ft basement layout with thousands of feet of track, realistic operations, and a close community of hobbyists. We discuss how this passion project almost lost its home, how its mission continues to inspire, and what happens when new stewards step in to ensure the locomotive keeps rolling forward.
