Silicon Valley Lines

Founded in 1979, Silicon Valley Lines (SVL) is an HO Scale Model Railroad Club located in San Jose, California. In 1999, we moved to our current location on 148 E. Virginia Street in San Jose, where our 23' x 72' layout is in operation. As one of a few model railroad clubs in the Bay Area, Silicon Valley Lines is dedicated to be an educational resource and support the model railroading community.

We generally operate the last Friday of the month January to November. We also have the ability for remote operators to join us during ops. We operate in both the modern and transitional eras swapping back and forth every month.
