Model Railroad Open Houses
Another year
of open houses is complete! Thank you to all the
layout owners and visitors for taking part in the annual
event! If you have any questions about
participating in 2024,
please send an email to
modelrailroadopenhouse@gmail.com.
Signups will
begin in September for the 2024 event.
We have an active Facebook page. Please visit and
share your photos, ask any questions you may have or
search for others in your area. Layout owners are
welcome to
post pictures of their layouts to entice
visitors. The Facebook page is "Model
Railroad Open House Schedule."
We made the decision in the beginning to
keep this site free of any and all ads! Donations
make this possible. Thanks to all who donated so
generously towards the maintenance of this
site. Your support is much appreciated! If you have never contributed in the
past, please consider donating and keep this great
site working for you.
We are still
looking to update the listings with a description and
photos of the layout owners and a layout shot to be
shown in the rotating images at the top of the page.
If you have not sent a description (3-4 sentence
overview) or photo, please do so this year. Further information can
be found at the very bottom of this page.
Your open
house team, Karen Darling and Fran Giacoma.
NOTE: If you are hosting an
open house and have NOT sent a picture
of your layout that you would like featured in the rotating pictures
at the top of each page, please email it to modelrailroadopenhouse@gmail.com.
Each picture should be in a "landscape" format.
Please send the full size image, let us do the cropping.
Keep in mind that we need to use a portion of the
picture that will show your trains and/or layout in the
500 x 200 pixel area. We will let you know if it
is acceptable. Due to the large number of folks
participating, only one picture from each person will be
used. If your layout has a name and website, please let
us know and I will
include it in the listing.
We are also working to include a photo of the layout owners.
Please send a picture of yourself along with the layout picture.
Your description should be a short 3-4 sentence overview
of your layout.
