Model Railroads of Southern California’s thirty-eighth layout tour takes place on Saturday, May 18. This will be a self-guided tour of eleven layouts at ten locations in the Long Beach-South Bay area. Two layouts are appearing for the first time on our tour program: Lindley Ruddick’s Z scale layout and John Polen’s garden railroad. Altogether there will be five HO scale layouts, one N scale, one S scale, one O scale, one Z scale and two garden railroads. The S scale club layout has both standard gauge and Sn3 operations and one HO layout, also a club, has both standard gauge and HOn3 operations. The Los Angeles Division/PSR/NMRA will be operating a “Hospitality Tent” at one layout location, offering free coffee and sweets. And for you bargain hunters, the Belmont Shore Lines and Angels Gate Hi-Railers clubs also will have a swap meet from 8:00 to 12:00. Lastly, one of the model railroad hobby shops in the tour area is offering a store-wide ten percent-off coupon to members of Model Railroads of Southern California only.
