Mission Statement: The San Luis Obispo Model Railroad Association (SLOMRA) will be operated exclusively for educational and non profit purposes, and shall be limited to those purposes permitted by Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Our mission is to preserve and present the heritage and history of railroading in the United States, particularly the Pacific Coast Railway, San Luis Obispo’s own narrow gauge railroad. This shall be accomplished through the collection and public display of model railroad layouts, educational materials and educational presentations, and related documents, artifacts, and equipment. We will:

* Enlist public support in model railroading activities through cooperative layout construction, group operating sessions, educational instruction and the establishment and maintenance of a permanent space for group model railroading activities which is open to the public.

* Promote and support the model railroading hobby on the Central Coast of California through the maintenance of an official website, publication of a newsletter, and the production of an annual train show.

* Provide a point of contact for potential members, organizations, the public and interested parties to connect with the local model railroading community.
