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.
