Attention Model Railroaders and Rail Fans
The NCMRS Train Show & Swap Meet is less than two weeks away. Mark your calendar now to attend. If you are a seller contact NCMRS (see below) now to reserve space.
The Train Show & Swap Meet is scheduled for Saturday, April 14, 2018. The event is sponsored by the North County Model Railroad Society (NCMRS) and will be held at Oceanside’s Heritage Park.
The San Diego Division of PSR/NMRA has scheduled an official tour of NCMRS facilities and railroad layouts during the Train Show.
Swap Meet
The swap meet will be conducted from 8 to 11 AM. On sale will be model railroad items of all scales, accessories, railroadiana, and railroad related publications.
Clinics
Free modeling clinics will be presented from 10 AM to 12 Noon.
Train Show
The large HO scale model railroad layout with over 600-feet of mainline track will be in operation from 10 AM to 3 PM. Set in the 1950s, the miniature railroad depicts the Santa Fe from San Diego to Colton during the transition era. At Oceanside the main line turns inland (as the prototype did prior to 1900) and travels through Fallbrook, Temecula Canyon, and Perris before reaching Colton. All operations are controlled by smart-phones. Installation of a state-of-the-art signal system is nearing completion.
