Year 2000 Open Houses
Year 2000 open house flyers are now on a SEPARATE PAGE, in order to limit file size due to the large number of flyers.

You can also find model railroad shows at:

This paragraph tells how to get your club's FLYER displayed on this web page:

  • I will continue putting your Model Railroad shows and open-house flyers on this web page at no charge, PROVIDED that:
    • 1--The event is inside the included geographical region:
    • 2--You PARTICIPATE by putting the following note at the bottom of ALL copies of ALL flyers pertaining to the event, in a font size of at least 6 points:
"Show Flyers at www.track2.com/pa"
  • If you choose to be NON-PARTICIPATING by not-including the above note on bottom of the flyer, I will still include: • date • city • name of show • contact phone number; but I will not display the flyer on this web page.
    • Reason For The Note: If you don't add the web address to the flyer, people have no way to know that the flyer is on the web, and I am wasting the time it takes me to post it for you.

Notes

  1. Open Houses & Running Nights -- This page lists special Holiday Open Houses. Some clubs have one night a month designated as a running night. These running nights are listed on "Page 4 - Club Contacts".
  2. Contacts -- If you cannot reach the contact listed, there may be more contacts listed on "Page 4 - Club Contacts". The Contacts section will also tell you if there are directions or a map available.
  3. Confirming--Clubs change & cancel these dates, but rarely tell me. Therefore, I recommend you confirm any event before you drive any significant distance.
