Pacific Scale Models, if it's still there.

503 Cherry St SE
Olympia, WA 98501
(360) 352-9261

Whatcha doin' in Olympia?

Now, 60 miles north, there's Eastside Trains in Kirkland.

And this Friday, 1400-2100 local, just a couple of miles North of Eastside is an ops session at the CCRy.

Thanks for the tip.  I'm less than 5 miles from cherry st so I'll swing by and have a look.

I'm in Olympia working with the BNSF on a track maintenance issue.  I was on my way home from San Francisco when I got diverted 700 miles north.   No matter, I'm sure there are some model train buffs around here somewhere.....

Hiya Jack,

   If you get a chance, visit the Washington State Historical Museum in Tacoma. They have a very nice layout depicting the Northern Pacific's influence in our area.
