SFRH&MS is the world's premier independent organization devoted to preserving, studying, and sharing information about all aspects of the history of the Santa Fe and about modeling its operations, equipment, and structures.
The history of SFRH&MS dates back to the late 1960s, to an organization that involved itself principally in model railroading with a Santa Fe flavor. In mid-1994, what by then was the Santa Fe Modelers Organization joined with the Santa Fe Railway Historical Society, a smaller group with a specific interest in the history of the railroad. The result: today's broader, stronger SFRH&MS.
SFRH&MS owns and is cataloging a sizable archive of Santa Fe papers and artifacts. It works with other who also own significant collections. For historians and modelers alike, SfRH&MS publishes books and other materials designed to convey information about the Santa Fe's operations and rolling equipment and its buildings and other structures. It provides a line of products designed to help model railroaders build accurate representations of the Santa Fe.
SFRH&MS members meet in convention each summer at a location on the former Santa Fe. They hear experts in Santa Fe history and modeling conduct a contest to determine who can build the best models of Santa Fe equipment and structures, tour places of Santa Fe interest, and see to the business of the Society.
SFRH&MS produces a quarterly magazine, The Warbonnet, in which it explores both the history of and how best to model the Santa Fe.
We invite you to join with us in exploring all that this fascinating railroad represents.
