Walking Guide Level - 2
Spend the evening visiting model railroad club layouts! But first enjoy a fine dinner at the historic Bully's Restaurant & Pub in Columbia, PA. In a church dating back to 1850, visit the Columbia & Susquehanna HO Model Railroad (C&SMRR) and the Lower Susquehanna Valley Modular Railroaders. The C&SMRR is an expansive HO operating layout featuring impressive landscaping, many tracks and long trains. The Susquehanna High-Railers control a sizable modular layout on which the latest modern-era 3-rail O gauge trains operate. Travel to the Masonic Village in Elizabethtown, PA to visit the great setup run by the MV&E Model Railroad Club. This fantastic group of seven layouts features all popular gauges of model trains from Z to G. There is something for everyone to admire in this huge display.
#17- Layout Tours Chris Montagna & Russ MacNair
5 pm - 10 pm
Walking Guide Level - 2
This tour brings together the vintage and the modern features of our hobby. Chris Montagna's (TCA #17-72757) layout showcases the latest in operating technology. It is roughly 36' x 26', featuring a double main folded dogbone design with an upper-level loop and lower-level reversing loop. The layout uses Gargraves track and Ross switches. Various projects from this layout have been featured in Classic Toy Trains, including a farmhouse scene and a yard-to-town renovation project. Chris' design allows for various viewing perspectives and scenic elements. All engines are modern with Lionel Legacy or MTH DCS. Russ MacNair (TCA #72-5003) has been an avid collector of toy trains for over 50 years. He specializes in Lionel Prewar O and OO Gauge trains and Lionel Postwar O Gauge trains. His prewar collection features many Macy's and other Special Sets, Lionel-Ives Transition pieces, and other interesting variations. Highlighting the collections are prewar and postwar Lionel factory-built layouts in O and OO gauge. A box dinner will be provided at beginning of the tour.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Sounds like a fun time, you just have to decide what trains are going to run that's going to be the hard part 👍👍

[@tomrogers5516]

How special is this opportunity for you, Chris?! I guess there's lots of work to do so have a great time in June.

[@Johnnyshotrains.]

I hope to see you at the show I got a table there

[@therosejewelrailroad489]

Great news! I loved the layout you showed. The scene where the police officer has the kids in the pedal car/go carts pulled over is hilarious! Thanks for all you do for the hobby. Also thanks to your wife and kids for allowing you to open up your home and be involved at your level to the hobby. I’m very much looking forward to meeting you someday. But unfortunately it won’t be for this event. Ken
