Brazilian Society of Railway Modelling

The Brazilian Society of Railway Modelling (Sociedade Brasileira de Ferromodelismo, SBF) is a Brazilian association that brings together people interested in and practitioners of railway modelling. Founded in 1960, it is one of the oldest and most traditional model railway clubs in Brazil. Its headquarters are located at the Modelódromo do Parque do Ibirapuera in São Paulo, a dedicated space for modelling activities within the famous Ibirapuera Park. The society completed its first large model railway layout in 1972, a landmark achievement that helped establish its reputation. SBF serves as a meeting point for hobbyists, offering a place to build, operate, and display model railways. It also functions as a community hub, promoting the exchange of knowledge and techniques among members. While primarily a membership-based association, SBF maintains a public presence through its website and events, and it is recognized in Brazilian railway modelling circles as a key institution. The society's long history and continued operation reflect the enduring appeal of railway modelling in Brazil.
