X2011 West, the 2011 National Model Railroad Convention, will be held in Sacramento, CA on July 3-9, 2011. The current registration fee for the Convention is a very cheap $99! But that price will be available only until September 1, 2010, after it will increase to $139.
Three of the many layouts which will be on tour have already been highlighted in the MRH magazine:
- Jack Burgess’ Yosemite Valley Railroad (MRH issue 3 - July 2009)
- Ed Loizeaux's New York Central (MRH issue 4 - October 2009)
- Jim Dias’ Western Pacific Railroad (MRH issue 7 - May/Jun 2010).

If you have never been to a NMRA Convention, you should consider attending this one! The week-long event will be filled with layout tours, clinics on all types of subjects, model contests, an RPM meet of prototype models, and will conclude with the National Train Show, an opportunity to talk to manufacturers about new products, etc. To continue to get up-to-date information, catch us on Facebook at
