This is a reminder that the 13th annual Olympia Model Railroad Layout Tour will be held on Saturday, April 30th. The following layouts will be on the tour this year:

  • Jim Younkins’ N scale Mud Bay & Southern Railway
  • Greg Wright’s 1:32 scale Consolidated Republic Mining Co
  • Brian Ferris’s HO scale Port Townsend & Southern
  • Scott Buckley’s HO scale Tehama Valley Railroad
  • Chuck Ricketts’ On30 scale Sherwood, Shelton and Sarazen
  • Dave Rakestraw’s HO scale PNW mainline and logging layout
  • Robert Grove’s HO scale Rawlins, Lincoln, and Greeley Railway
  • Dean Cody’s N scale KD&S Railroad
  • The Olympic Model Railroad Society’s HO scale Olympic Mountain Rail System
  • Ryan Bates’ HO scale McCloud River Railroad
  • Scott Groff’s On30 Quevic Valley Railway (new to the tour this year)

As you can see, various scale and gauge combinations will be represented. Some of the layouts have been featured in national publications, and some have been on national convention tours. Many of the layouts are in various stages of construction, which will give visitors an opportunity to see each builder’s construction methods.

If you are interested in visiting, please contact me at sbuckley54@comcast.net and I will send you an email with layout descriptions, hours of operation, layout addresses, and a map. Please include your full name and the city in which you live. These will be sent out after April 16th. Those of you who have already contacted me don’t need to do so again.
