Welcome to the
Pebble Creek Model Railroad Club.
We are located in Goodyear, Arizona in the Pebble Creek Resort Community.
Our mission, as a recreational club for Pebble Creek residents, is to
serve as a community forum for railroad history, science, and lore and
to promote model railroading including fine scale modeling, simulated
railroad operations, and discussion. Our primary goal is to provide
"fun" for members and the local community.
Staging yard - It's only a matter of time now before trains start rolling
into the GLW's hidden staging. Art Mellon and the electrical crew are
working to finish the control panels that will allow switching trains
through this hidden yard. It is one of the last tasks before operations
can begin. Photo
