Bruce Chubb is an American model railroader. Since the 1940s, he has been creating layouts called the Sunset Valley Lines. The first Sunset Valley was a Lionel tinplate layout on a tabletop. In 1954, he started work on a basement-filling freelance railroad in an ambiguous geographic setting. Set in 1950, the HO scale railroad theoretically interchanged with Frank Ellison's Delta Lines, Whit Towers' Alturas & Lone Pine, and Ned Browne's Durand & Irish Grove. In the 1990s, Chubb built a new Sunset Valley, this one a 55 foot by 60 foot multi-deck layout set in the Pacific Northwest.

Chubb is also the author of How To Operate Your Model Railroad.
