IRF Layouts and Exhibits

Two sponsors of our show, Sacramento Modular Railroaders and European Train Enthusiasts, will be operating their large club model railroads at this year's show! Another sponsor club, the Sierra Division of the National Model Railroad Association, will display exhibits related to model railroading, NMRA standards, and information about the NMRA.

We also invite other clubs from this region to set up and operate their outstanding layouts so there will be model railroads at the show that represent the different model railroad scales. You and your family will have an opportunity to observe these different sized operating model railroads.
