Layout Tour and Operating Sessions
We're excited to have a number of great layouts on tour for the Division Meet. Some are large and fully sceniced, some are smaller, and
some are still under construction. Some are built for operations, others are built for switching. There's something for everyone, and always
something to learn.
In addition to these fine layouts, we will have two layouts at the Meet - AustNtrak will assemble and operate an T-Trak layout, and the Texas Brick Railroad will also build an amazing L-Scale layout!
Detailed directions including maps and exact times the layouts will be open will be available at the Meet.
In addition to the tour, you're welcome to participate in Operating Sessions the Friday before the Meet on one of four great area layouts (marked below) - no experience needed! If you'd like to operate, please email us BEFORE MONDAY OCTOBER 17!
