Volunteers needed? You bet!

Yes, the Pacific Science Center Show is about two weeks away and we still need volunteers. This is a great way to help the model railroad community as well as helping promote a train show to the greater community of Seattle. As mentioned before, the show is Saturday, January 18 through Monday, January 20 (MLK weekend). We need your assistance on Friday for exhibitor set-up from 5 pm until 9 pm. On Saturday, the show opens at 8:30 and lasts till 6 pm. On Sunday and Monday, the show is from 9 am till 6 pm. After the show Monday, we will remove layouts until 9 pm.

Come join in on the fun. Parking is free for volunteers. There is free access to the PacificScienceCenter, so you can look at all the exhibits and check out Seattlelites in their natural habitat. (Be careful of the ones with moss growing on their backs.) See your fellow modelers struggle with dead sections of track! Be amazed at how slow locomotives move over dirty track! Learn that not all 4 legs of a module are of equal length, even though a tape measure says they are! Observe model railroad cars derail just like real ones!
