Founded in 1979, Silicon Valley Lines (SVL) is an HO Scale Model Railroad Club located in San Jose, California. In 1999, we moved to our current location on 148 E. Virginia Street in San Jose, where our new 23' x 72' layout is now in operation.
SVL operates trains using digital command control (DCC), which allows engineers to control locomotives independently on the same track.
Members are given switchlist and must coordinate via radio with the dispatcher to obtain authority to move on the mainline and complete their work in a timely fashion.
Our layout is constructed using some unique benchwork building techniques, with much of the layout supported by structural steel components.
Visitors are welcome to visit us at our club any Friday evening, after 7:30PM. The first Friday of each month is the club business meeting, the last Friday is “Operations Night,” and all other Fridays are work-nights. Some folks leave at 10PM, some stay until midnight or so, and a group of night owls usually adjourn to a nearby Denny’s.
Membership is open, and we’re always looking for new folks to help build, operate, and enjoy HO Scale Model Railroading. Click here for directions to SVL.If you have additional questions, feel free to email us at: svl@siliconvalleylines.com
