The club was founded in 1989 on the initiative of the late Yaakov Haran. Initially it was located in the underground shelter of the disused South Tel Aviv railway station. However, when the first Gulf War broke out in 1991, the shelter was taken over by the commander of the “Patriot” missile battery nearby and the layout had to be dismantled and removed within one day. For a number of years it was stored in a shipping container until Moshe Rozen, a member of Kibbutz Netzer Sereni and a member of the club was able to obtain the use of a small shelter in the kibbutz. A beautiful layout was constructed there with HO gauge DC and Marklin tracks combined in one layout , an N gauge layout and an O gauge track around the walls. in 2008, the kibbutz gave us the use of a a larger shelter. The original layouts were dismantled and a new layout suited to the larger room is being constructed by the members. We meet weekly and have about 30 permanent members, with quite a few visitors in addition.
