Here is a great opportunity to run trains in person at “Day Out With Thomas”.

Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie is recovering from the COVID epidemic.

Their annual “Day Out With Thomas” event is back on, after a year hiatus. Come and help them celebrate, and satisfy your craving to run model trains, and to rub elbows with prototype trains, too.

Day out With Thomas is on July 9, 10, 11 and 16, 17, 18, 2021. We will want to have at least two volunteers each of those days who can monitor and run the O scale layout for visitors. ( This is not the Hi-Rail module layout. This is the layout and trains which were saved from the Bellingham Railway Museum. There is also an N scale layout, which visitors run themselves. ) If we have two volunteers each of those days, we can have at least one stationed at the O scale layout and the other can rove around the Train Shed Exhibit Hall to answer questions, keep an eye on things, and direct people through the hall.

Shifts would be from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Half day shifts are also available.
Because of crowding, face masks are required while at the Museum, even if you are vaccinated.
Bring your own name tag. ( You probably have one, from other shows. )
Food and beverages are not available on-site. But there are picnic tables, an outdoor lounge area, and a refrigerator.
On-site parking is limited, so plan to get there early.

Anyone interested is welcome to contact the Museum directly.
