Success at 2018 Best of the West Antique Equipment Show

CCCGRS returned to successfully operate a large scale model train display at the Historic Santa Margarita Ranch. More than 4000 people attended over the three day event, including several local school groups on Friday. Attendees from Orange, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties were among those with whom we visited.
