Welcome Aboard!

Welcome to the Grand Central Railroad Park, one of the largest outdoor model railroads in the Phoenix area. We are located at The Grand in Surprise Arizona.



We are a designated Interest Group in The Grand. Our model railroad group began in 2004 with ten members. The Grand Community Association provided the space for the train layout and those original members laid the first few hundred feet of track. Now we have 40 members and the layout has developed to include approximately 1800 feet of track, landscaping, bridges and many buildings.


OUR LAST SCHEDULED OPERATING SESSION
for THE 2024 - 2025 SEASON
WILL BE APRIL 26th 2025

 

Thank you for your ongoing support of Model Railroading at the GRAND.
We are already looking forward to seeing everyone back with our regular operating schedule restarting in October 2025.

NEW MEMBERS - ALWAYS WELCOME

Think about joining us in the Fall...

The GCRR is a “hands on” outdoor model railroading experience. Residents of The Grand are invited to join and participate in working with and operating “G (garden) Gauge” model trains. Beginning and experienced railroaders are welcome (owning a train set is not required to become a member). We invite you to continue your "tour" of this website or for more information...
