Open House and 'Show' @ Walnut Creek Model Railroad Society

By Daniel O’Connell

Join us for our train show / open house FRIDAY - AUGUST 29, 2014 - 8:00pm - 10:00pm..

Come and see the largest HO scale layout on permanent display in the Bay Area in the only building in the entire state built especially for a model railroad.

We have one of the largest layouts in the United States, declared the “Best Man-Cave in the Bay Area” by NBC-11 KTNS. We have over 4,300 feet of track covering an area of 1,800 square feet, climbing to an elevation of 5 feet.

Visit the towns of “Port Allen”, with its busy seaport, naval ships and operating draw bridge, “Diablo” to view our expansive freight sorting “hump” yard, “Olympia” to view operations of the electric trolley system, and “Thompson Flat” and “ride” our narrow gauge railway to the alpine rack railway. We are located in Larkey Park near the Lindsay Wildlife Museum.

Check our website for more information and see pictures of our incredible layout with its mountain scenery and the meticulous attention to detail.

Can’t make it? Our next week-end open house will be on Saturday and Sunday, May 17 & 18th, 11:00 am - 6:00 pm.
