Central Coast RR Festival - Show Your Railroad
|
Do you have an operating model railroad? Why not share it with others? Read on.
?
The Central Coast Railroad Festival returns this year to California's San Luis Obispo and northern San Barbara Counties on October 5-7 (Friday-Sunday).
?
As in past years I will organize a tour of model railroads and garden railroads. Last year we had twenty-eight railroads on the tour.
?
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 one day. Additional days and hours are at the owner’s option, including "early bird" showings on Thursday, October 4. And we are asking owners in Santa Maria and areas south of Santa Maria to be open only on Sunday.
?
All you need to do is operate your trains. I will do all the planning and publicity, as I have done for fifty-six previously tours since 2006, including seven 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 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 in August to set your days and hours.
?
And if you know someone who has an operating railroad, please share this message with them.
?
Thank you.
