2009 TRAINS on the PLAINS
presented by THE NORTHERN COLORADO MODEL RAILROAD CLUB
in conjunction with NMRA 2009 ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGIONAL CONVENTION
The 2009 TRAINS on the PLAINS Train Show
May 22-24, 2009
Greeley, Colorado
On Memorial Day Weekend 2009, Greeley, Colorado will host three very special events all happening simultaneously; first is the 2009 NMRA Rocky Mountain Regional Convention hosted by the Northern Colorado Division of the RMR, featuring Jim Hediger, Senior Editor, Model Railroader Magazine as the banquet guest speaker; second will be the 2009 Trains on the Plains Train Show hosted by the Northern Colorado Model Railroad Club; and third the Grand Opening of the fabulous Greeley Freight Station Museum. The museum houses one of the largest and most spectacular HO scale model railroads found anywhere, the Oregon California & Eastern Railway!
Our hope is these three events will have the look and feel of a mini-national convention and train show. With the museum grand opening still months away, the Oregon California & Eastern Railway has already received regional and now national acclaim. The lead article in the December 2008 issue of Model Railroader Magazine is about the layout and museum. Denver based television station KUSA (NBC Channel 9) has agreed to cover the grand opening and train show. With this kind of interest and publicity, we're expecting a large contingent of railroad enthusiasts, from across the country visiting Greeley, Colorado on Memorial Day Weekend 2009. To learn more about the Oregon California & Eastern Railway, check out the December 2008 issue of Model Railroader or click here www.gfsm.org to goto the museum website.
