Model Railroads of Southern California's thirty-eighth layout tour takes place on Saturday, May 18. Lindley Ruddick's modular Z scale layout in Rancho Palos Verdes will be on this tour.
This will be a self-guided tour of eleven layouts at ten locations in the Long Beach-South Bay area.
Altogether there will be five HO scale layouts, one N scale, one S scale, one O scale, one Z scale and two garden railroads. The S scale club layout has both standard gauge and Sn3 operations and one HO layout, also a club, has both standard gauge and HOn3 operations.
The Los Angeles Division/PSR/NMRA will be operating a "Hospitality Tent" at one layout location, offering free coffee and sweets. And for you bargain hunters, the Belmont Shore Lines and Angels Gate Hi-Railers clubs also will have a swap meet from 8:00 to 12:00.
This is a free event and you may bring relatives and friends. The basic information for this tour is displayed below. If you would like layout descriptions and a tour map showing the general locations of all layouts, please e-mail me OFF LIST at: chiefbobbb@...
Lastly, one of the model railroad hobby shops in the tour area is offering a store-wide ten percent-off coupon to members of Model Railroads of Southern California only. This coupon is available in the group's files section. If you join the group you will have access to the coupon.
