Rails in the Rockies

    February 13, 2010   

    Clanging bells, tooting whistles, and blaring horns will fill the Estes Park Conference Center on Feb. 13 and 14, 2009 as trains from the steam age to the present time roar along tracks of model railroad layouts at the 12th annual “Rails in the Rockies” exhibit.

    Organized by the Estes Valley Model Railroaders, these working exhibits include models of trains from many regions of the United States as well as selected models of British railroads, all of which have been crafted in detail by dedicated model railroaders from all over Colorado. Children will enjoy the “Kids Layout” where they can actually operate model trains themselves. And don't forget to register for a free Harry Potter train set to be given away.

    Exhibit hours for the show are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, . Admission is $5 per person, although children under 12 get in free with an adult. The Estes Valley Model Railroaders website offers the most up to date information about information about Rails in the Rockies.
