Whether you are a
garden railroader, modeler, collector, G-scale fan or just a
Big Train lover, you are invited to join the Big Train
Operator Club. Inc.
The club is a group of enthusiasts,
hobbyists, and collectors who devote much of their time
and energy to Large-Scale trains. The club was founded
in 1978 (formerly the LGB Model Railroad Club or
LGBMRRC) and now has members throughout the United
States and in several countries.
