Rails in the Rockies 2015

RAILS IN THE ROCKIES 2015

You are invited to the 18th Annual Rails in the Rockies Model Railroad Show in Estes Park on February 14 & 15 (ALWAYS President’s Day Weekend) at the Estes Park Conference Center adjacent to the Rocky Mountain Park Inn on Hwy 7 (101 S St Vrain) in Estes Park, CO.

As always, we strive to improve the show each year…with more quality layouts, diverse vendors and activities to engage all of our attendees.

Here we are setting up and introducing our famous “Kids Layout”. Originally conceived by one of our members to have a fully interactive layout at children’s level, it has become our most popular display in the youth area.  This layout is so mobile and well put together that it currently visits many events in the Northern Colorado area.  

Another interesting part of this show is the quality of modeling displayed (pictured above is Bob Trump’s Maude Monroe Mine which enjoyed a special showing at the Longmont Museum this summer).  We also have several clinics to share with others the tricks and secrets of good modeling, scenery and other aspects of model railroading.

This year we are fortunate to have layouts/displays featuring: O gauge, N scale, Z scale, HO, On30, LEGO, circus, Youth in Model Railroading, switching, and general operation.

For families and children we have our Kid’s Layout, Youth in Model Railroading Children’s Layout, G gauge and HO layout, Seek and Search Game for all ages, and clinics for everyone.

As we have done in the past, we have a train giveaway at the show. Lionel Trains has generously donated a train, ChooChooAreUs has donated an HO set, and often LEGO has a donation as well.  

We invite you to join us, tell your friends, come enjoy a weekend in Estes Park and a warm, inviting, fascinating, informative, very special show.
