SpringRail 5/17/14 Alhambra CA - lajry - 05-07-2014
The Los Angeles Division of the NMRA will be holding the 5th annual SpringRail Meet on May 17
2014 at the First Christian Church 220 5th St Alhambra CA 91801. SpringRail starts with a swap meet. There will be clinics all day on a variety of subjects including diesel painting, freight car weathering, grass modeling, DCC installation, layout wiring & backdrop painting. During the lunch there will be a Hobo auction. And there will also be Time Saver switching contests on 3 different versions of John Allen's layout. See the attached flying for more info.

I wouldn't be caught dead in California these days, especially not in LA. Too bad they couldn't have chosen a more viable venue.

Where else but Los Angeles would the LA Div. of PSR NMRA have this meet. We're certainly not going all the way to CO to have it. So you're not welcome. LOL

Understood, but the fact remains that LA is a terrible place for non-Californians to go to. And, having lived n California part of my life, I distinctly recall some far more attractive areas right around LA itself.
As for not being welcome, since when did Californians start turning down money? Especially from Colorado, which is where disillusioned Californians end up by the thousands. Something about "quality of life"...

Well if you're in the NMRA there nothing says your Division can't have their own meet like this.
