Regional Meet Webpage

The Rose City Garden Railway Society proudly invites you to visit the beautiful Pacific Northwest and see our layouts.

Unlike Garden Railway Conventions and Trade Shows, the West Coast “Regional Meets” are focused on Self-Guided Tours of Open Houses. We provide our Visitors with a Tour Book, which include a daily schedule, maps, photos and descriptions of our layouts.

These can be obtained through the mail or our on-line registration, and will be delivered by June 1st. There are no “Host hotels” or Tour buses. Under the Resources tab you will find links to the local Visitors Information sites in the Portland Metro area.
