CASG Chicago Land S-Gaugers - Club began in 1969 and is currently one of the largest S-Gauge clubs in the world.

CSG

Connecticut S Gaugers - At the present time our membership is equally distributed among American Flyer® enthusiasts who may collect and/or operate vintage tinplate trains, "S" Scalers who like their trains to be scaled down to exactly 1/64th of the real ones and the Hirailers who are a hybrid of both American Flyer® and Scale modelers, combining features of both. All of them are considered welcome "S" Gaugers to our club. We have so much to learn from one another!

South Jersey S Gaugers

Many of our members are collectors and collector/operators of classic American Flyer trains. Others, who had a start with American Flyer trains have turned to other aspects of the hobby, such as scale and narrow gauge. And some are still "armchair" modelers who will someday have a layout when the time is right!
