Central Coast Railroad Festival (Calif.) - Show Your Railroad

The Central Coast Railroad Festival returns this year to San Luis Obispo and northern San Barbara Counties on October 4-6, 2019 (Friday-Sunday).

As in past years I will organize a tour of model railroads and garden railroads in the above areas. Last year we had thirty-two railroads on the tour and we already have close to twenty for this year.

But more railroads always are welcome.

If you have an operating railroad 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 railroad 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, if convenient for them.

All you need to do is operate your trains. I will do all the planning and publicity, as I have done for fifty-nine previously tours since 2006, including eight previous tours for the Central Coast Railroad Festival.

This tour 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 OFF LIST in the next several weeks 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 later this month to set your days and hours.

Thank you.
