Layout Tours

Denver and the Front Range is home to many excellent model railroads and the 2023 National Narrow Gauge convention is proud to offer layout tours from Cheyenne, Ft Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Erie, Metro Denver, Evergreen, Idaho Springs and south to Colorado Springs and Woodland Park.  We have 41 layouts committed to be open..  We have a large number of “fully finished” layouts and significantly completed layouts.  We have new layouts being built that have never been seen on any previous conventions.  We are representing most scales: HOn3, HOn30, Sn3, On3 On30, ½ inch, Garden and Standard Gauge shortlines with the common prototypes and freelance railroads.  Be prepared to enjoy your time with a full schedule. Your Convention packet and Whova App will have the latest information and directions to the layouts.
