A Little History

Since 1995, the Northeast Florida Live Steamers and Railroaders club has been a group of railroad enthusiasts dedicated to the preservation of Florida’s railroad history.  We operate two sizes of trains:  7.5" Gauge (the distance between the rails) and G Gauge which is 45 millimeters (not quite two inches).  In 2018, we relocated to the Florida Agricultural Museum grounds in Palm Coast, Florida.  Beginning in January 2024, Due to trouble associated with being a tenant with the Florida Agriculture Museum, NEFLS made the painful decision to vacate and leave the grounds of the Florida Agricultural Museum and in August of 2024, the vast majority of Club assets were removed from the Florida Agricultural Museum property and stored off-site until a suitable location is found to rebuild the railroads.​​

​​

The railroads will be open to adults interested in 7.5-gauge live steam boilers, engines of any type, and large-scale non-steam railroad locomotives or equipment.  Come join the fun!

Would you like to be a part of building the railroad winding through the pine forest?  No experience is necessary, and you do not need to own your own train.  Learn how to build a railroad and engine, become a certified engineer or conductor, or just enjoy the hobby with our members.
