Small Layouts Welcome For This Event.
Show Your Model Railroad – Central Coast Railroad Festival (October 4-6/San Luis Obispo Area, CA)
?
The Central Coast Railroad Festival returns this year to San Luis Obispo and northern San Barbara Counties on October 4-6, 2024 (Friday-Sunday).
?
As in past years I will organize a tour of model railroads and garden railroads. Last year we had thirty railroads on the tour.
?
I would like you to consider participating in the tour.
Participating in a layout tour is a great way to share your work and meet your fellow model and garden railroaders. You’ve probably worked hard on your railroad so you might as well get some recognition from people who will appreciate your efforts.
?
We are only asking owners to be open for four or more hours on just one day. Additional days and hours are at the owner’s option, including "early bird" showings on Thursday, October 3. And we are asking owners in Santa Maria and areas south of Santa Maria to be open only on Sunday, October 6.
?
All you need to do is operate your trains. I will do all the planning and publicity, as I have done for sixty-three previously tours since 2006, including eleven previous tours for the Central Coast Railroad Festival.
?
This will be a free, self-guided tour. No buses will be used.
?
If you have any questions before committing to the tour, please ask. In any event, please contact me in the next several days if you are interested so we can add your railroad to the tour. Once you have been added to the tour I will contact you to set your day(s) and hours.
?
Thank you.

P.S.: I will be organizing the layout tour for the 2025 Pacific Coast Region/NMRA annual convention in San Luis Obispo.
This will take place on March 27-30, 2025. I’ll be seeking railroads for this event, too.
