With National Model Railroading Month almost upon us, I thought it might be a good time to form a list of Model Railroads that are "visitable" over most of the year ( Museums, etc) Soe that come to midn for my part of the world are: _Central Washington Museum_ ; Wenatchee, WA: Model of the Great Northern from Wenatchee to Stevens Pass. Mostly complete, trains operating. _King Street Station_ ; Seattle, WA: The Great Northern from Seattle to Stevens Pass. Usually limited operating hours, but can be viewed through the windows. _Polson Museum_ ; Hoquiam, WA: The railroads around Grays Harbor and the Aberdeen/Hoquiam area. Mostly under construcation, but a couple dioramas of logging pikes. Anyone have additions/corrections? How about your area? Ron Bansemer uw-beaver!tikal!ronb

Show dates this year are the first three Saturdays and Sundays in November from 10AM to 6PM. Club theme is railroad action up the Columbia Gorge, Deschutes River and a logging railroad. This is a HUGE layout - well worth seeing if you're in the area.

The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago has a fine, large O scale layout that is usually operating in at least a simple around-the-loop mode.
