GSL2014 Preview

The Northern Utah Division (formally known as the Wasatch Division) welcomes the Rocky Mountain Regional Convention in 2014. We are excited to bring the Regional Convention to our area. There are many well-known model railroads in this area that have been the subject of articles in modeling magazines over the years. While small groups have recently toured and operated on these layouts, it is time for the population of the region to have that opportunity.

For the past couple of years the Division (and it’s local clubs) have had monthly layout tours and clinics. In addition, we recently started D.O.G. (Division Operations Group) where no experience is necessary. This has been a great opportunity to operate on world-class layouts and gain that experience needed for those a little “gun shy” on beginning to operate. As one member put it, “I wasn’t prepared for the experience of turning the corner to Lee’s basement and seeing “The Layout”… it was like walking into a dream! The lights were dim, the fascia long and black. Valence lights were strong and bright and all you could see was a winding ribbon of model railroad curving out of view in both directions. Is this heaven?”

More information is coming soon about dates and times. You will not want to miss this great opportunity!
