The Seattle-North June layout tours return on Thursday, June 6. 2013. And this year we have made some changes to let more folks participate. We have seen the success Olympia has had with self-guided tours and are going to adopt that scheme, but we are still going to do it on our regular June clinic night. And we are going to keep the destinations secret until the event starts.

The tour starts promptly at 7:00PM in the parking lot of the Edmonds Amtrak station, 211 Railroad Ave, Edmonds, WA. There you will be given directions to other destinations. Four layouts (all in SW Snohomish County) will be available for viewing. Each layout is open for at least 2 hours between 7:00 and 10:00PM. Two of the layouts will be in O scale (one narrow gauge) and two will be in HO (again, one will be narrow gauge).

As with all things in life, some rules apply:

  • You must be an NMRA member (or guest of an NMRA member) to participate.
  • Directions will not be given out in advance. Don’t ask.
  • Carpooling is strongly encouraged.
  • Please be considerate of the layout owners and their neighbors when parking and visiting.
  • There is no charge, so be extra generous in your praise and thank you to those who have made their layouts available.

See you at 7:00PM on the Thursday the 6th.
