Orange County Model Engineers (Official)

Welcome to OCME. On this channel, we look forward to sharing our love of trains and model railroading with you.

We are a non-profit 501(c) tax-deductible organization that operates a 7.5-inch gauge railroad at Fairview Park in Costa Mesa, CA known as the Mackerel Flats and Goat Hill Junction Railroad. The club was founded in 1985 by a group of local railroad buffs and currently has close to 5 miles of track winding through the park. A variety of trains run on the track and represent 1.5-inch, 2.5-inch, and 3.75-inch scale equipment.

OCME is looking for anyone who has the desire to work and have fun at the railroad to join our membership. The club has 6 engines and many passenger cars. Many of the members have civil and/or mechanical engineering experience. It's a great place to learn and spend time with real trains and enthusiasts. Adults and children who have an interest in trains are welcome to join, and many of our members are already enjoying their retirement at the railroad.
