The Central Coast Railroad Festival ( http://ccrrf.com/ ) will take place October 10-14, 2013 (Thursday-Monday) in San Luis Obispo County and Northern Santa Barbara County.
As was done in 2010, 2011 and 2012, I will organize a self-guided layout tour as part of the Festival. We had nineteen model railroads and garden railroads on tour last year and hope to have these plus some new railroads this year.
If you live in San Luis Obispo County or Northern Santa Barbara County I would like you to consider opening your railroad as part of the tour.
Participating in a layout tour is a great way to share your work and meet your fellow model railroaders. You’ve probably worked hard on your railroad so you might as well get some recognition from people who will appreciate your efforts.
All you need to do is operate your trains and chat with visitors. I will do all the planning and publicity, as I have done for thirty-nine previously tours since 2006, including the 2008 NMRA National Convention, the 2008 Santa Fe Railway Historical & Modeling Society, several NMRA regional conventions and the upcoming 33rd National Narrow Gauge Convention.
Please contact me OFF LIST at chiefbobbb@verizon.net if you are interested or just have questions before committing to the tour.
P.S.: I will be organizing the layout tour for the Pacific Coast Region/NMRA annual convention in San Luis Obispo next spring ( http://www.pcrnmra.org/conv2014/ ) so keep this in mind as an opportunity to show your railroad, also.
