The pages are updated at least twice a month. We would like to support all the divisions by including their events in our calendar, please let Gus Campagna know of events to be listed. The Pacific Coast Region will be the host for the National Model Railroad Convention to be held in San Jose, California from July 30 to August 6, 2000. For those who have never before attended a National Convention, a little background on what to expect may be useful. First, there will be clinics on every subject you can imagine, from layout design and scenery construction to DCC and operations.
Clinics start the first thing in the morning and run until late in the evening all week long.
Typically, there are 3-4 clinics running simultaneously, giving you a wide choice of subjects to learn more about. This is your opportunity to see as many of them as you can fit into your schedule. You could drop into the Layout Design Special Interest Group room and get some new ideas on layout design. Or peruse the models on display in the Railroad Prototype Modeler's room. If you have ever attended a Coast Division meet or Pacific Coast regional convention, you have probably heard about the fabulous live auctions conducted by members of the Coast Division.
