Yes, the Pacific Science Center Show is just around the corner! Now is the time to reserve space in your busy schedule to help at this event. This show will need all kinds of volunteers. Volunteering at this show is a great way to help the model railroad community as well as helping promote a train show to the greater community of Seattle.

This event is the premier funding source for the 4D.

As noted on the 4D PSC web page, the show is Saturday January 17 through Monday January 19 (MLK weekend). We can use some assistance on Friday since exhibitor set-up will commence at 5 pm and last till 9 pm. On Saturday the show starts at 8:30 am and lasts till 6 pm. Sunday and Monday the show is from 9 am till 6 pm. After the show on Monday will be layout load out till 9 pm. This year will be critical for help since we will not have one of our load in/load out docks available.

Come join in on the fun. Be a model railroad ambassador to the community. Parking is free for the volunteers. Admission is free to the Pacific Science Center, so you can look at all the exhibits. As with last year, come see your fellow modelers struggle with dead sections of track! Be amazed at how slow locomotives move over dirty track! Learn that not all four legs of a module are of equal length, even though a tape measure says they are! Observe model railroad cars derail just like the real ones!
