Six CCCGRS layouts along the central coast, from Paso Robles to Santa Maria, will be open to the general public during the 2018 Central Coast Railroad Festival scheduled for 05-07 October. CCCGRS members have been working hard putting the final touches on new additions and refining existing layout features. Walt Wajda made significant upgrades to the display layout that will be featured at the Oceano Depot throughout the festival. The mine train loop on the Edwards’ Cascade Peak & Buena Vista Railway is now operating for visitors to enjoy. New bridges and scenes add even more dimension to the Hays’ MNL railroad. We are anxious to share our hobby with you during your visit!
Check the CCCGRS calendar frequently for hours, locations and details on member open houses.
