Welcome to the Orange County Model Engineers Inc. Home Page. We are a non-profit organization that operates a 7 1/2" gauge railroad at Fairview Park in Costa Mesa, California. Officially known as, Mackerel Flats and Goat Hill Junction Railroad, the club was founded in 1988 by a group of local railroad buffs. Currently there is over 5 miles of actual track winding through the park. A variety of trains run on the track and represent 1 1/2", 2 1/2" and 3 1/2" scale equipment.
Anyone can join who has a desire to work and have fun at the railroad. The club has 6 engines and over 45 bench cars for the public to ride. Many of the members have worked for the real railroads and or have civil and mechanical engineering experience. It's a great place to learn and spend time with real trains and enthusiasts, no matter if your 10 or 80.
