Fall 2020 Virtual Open House

Hi everyone!

With the ongoing work and success around our camera cars, as well as interest from our presentations, we’ve decided to take our Fall Open House virtual! On November 14, 2020, you’ll be able to take a train for a spin around our lower level loop at SVL, all from the comfort of your home!

Trains will be available from 10am – 3pm Pacific Standard Time. If you are interested in running a train, please sign up via the survey here. Note we are asking for an email and a preferred time slot so we can invite you to a Google Meet to coordinate with you when we start running trains. Tips and tricks for remote engineers can be found here.

If you prefer to just watch, click through to the live-stream of the Open House on Youtube.

Note: As mentioned above – this is a remote Open House. Our layout is still closed to the general public due to Covid-19 restrictions. Only a limited number of members will be allowed into the building to help monitor trains, so please do not come down to the club.

Fall Open House

We had out Fall Open House last weekend. Plenty of people came down to enjoy running trains, and those trains got a lot of mileage on the lower level loop!

Couldn’t make it out? Not a problem! Feel free to come by an Ops session to check us out, or you can look ahead our Open House in June 2020!
