2006 4th annual batt/live steam open house.
Posted by Marty Cozad on Sunday, April 16, 2006 10:11 PM
Sept 23th and 24th will be our 4rd anl. steamup for folks to share their engines with others and also battery power trains will be running.
Some folks start Fri evening the 22 and some come for one day.
Weather is usally good this time of year and we have lots of shade trees.

Heres some places to stay at:

Best Western 402-873-7000
Apple Inn 402-873-5959
Victoian Acres camp ground 402-873-6866

This is open to guess and sharing of our great hobby.
There will be a couple of dealers (small timers but good prices.)
There may be a trade and sell table if I have help.
The only no is ( please don't bring any pets)
We live on a farm and have a DOG that loves kids but hates strange animals.

We will have pot luck dinners and banquet Sat night at the Embers Steak house already reserved. We will need a head count.

Lots of snacks and shopping in town for the wives.

Carrie has scrap booking materials and lots of flowers.
For info
e-mail at cozy6z@yahoo.com
Map Quest is wrong, use road K or N .

i don't know if I can place this in the events part in the mag, but pass the word.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Yes, they do, Marty. It's a huge database with hundreds of listings. Worth a try since it's free.

You know... I was thinking we needed something like that.

Maybe if you could ask it to sort them by distance from your zip code?
