The FMRHS plans to construct an historically accurate model railroad layout focused on Southern California, with special emphasis on Orange County and Fullerton. Be sure to stop by their booth at Fullerton Railroad Days to see their plans and initial efforts. The booth will contain a scale model display of the Fullerton station area- circa 1950, along with a photo gallery of vintage scenes of Fullerton and the railroads of the region.
