The Southern Arizona Society of Model Engineers, or SASME, is a model railroad club located in Tucson, AZ. We began promoting the hobby of model railroading in 1954. We've had several locations over the years, but in 1985 we moved into our present location. We've been building, modifying and improving the layout ever since.

The club's HO layout is the Tucson and South Western Rail Road, nicknamed The Cactus Route. It interchanges with the McNary and Crown King NGRR, a narrow gauge HOn3 line. We don't, however, limit club activities to just HO and HOn3. We've built several small layouts in N gauge and members have built and operated everything from Nn3 to G gauge.

We meet each Wednesday night at the club's building at about 7:30. The first Wednesday of each month is a business meeting, the last Wednesday is one of our operating nights, while the remaining Wednesdays are work nights.
