Fullerton Railroad Days

From the Citrus Modeling Yahoo Group:

Fullerton Railroad Days ( http://www.scrmf.org/ ) will take place
May 7 & 8 (9 a.m. - 5 p.m) in Fullerton, Calif., at the Amtrak
(Santa Fe) Station. This is a really big event and it is FREE, as is
the parking and shuttles.

I bring this to the group's attention because several modular
layouts with citrus elements will be on display, including The
Orange County Module Railroaders
( http://www.trainweb.org/ocmr/ ) and the Fullerton Model Railroad
Historical Society (http://www.scrmf.org/frpa/fmrhs/ ). The
Fullerton group is especially notable in that they have constructed
an operating display (about 70% complete) which features the area
around the Santa Fe station in Fullerton, circa 1950, including
packing houses and other related facilities. Others module groups
also will have displays.

This is a really big event. Participants already confirmed for 2005

Until a few days ago, the SBRHS website said they were NOT going to the Fullerton RR Days. I just checked their site, and the schedule section has been completely removed. And the home page was just updated yesterday. Aabsent any information from them to the contrary I have to assume they can't make the numbers work. Shame.

Also the http://www.scrmf.org/rrdays/ page does not list the 3751 (which it did at one time) so I also have to assume from that it is not coming.

I don't generally like to followup to my own posts, but it appears that the FRPA and SBRHS has come to some agreement.

There is still no word on the SBRHS website, but FRPA's website is now announcing that 3751 IS coming to Railroad Days.

Sadly the OFFICIAL word is that the 3751 will NOT NOT NOT
be at Fullerton Railroad Days 2005.
This is according to
Bob Kittel "Robert" and William Ramsey "Wild Bill"
posting to this Trainorders discussion thread.

Bob Kittel is the president of the SBRHS - 3751 and
William Ramsey is the official webmaster for SBRHS.
This is now the official and cast-in-stone word
from the "horses mouth" if you will.
I really hope that everyone attending the Fullerton RR Days
somehow gets this official word. I do hope that 3751
gets to Fullerton in May 2006.

Can't believe everything you read, the FRPA has been notified as soon as it was known that the 3751 wouldn't be there. Also, people who have requested to be emailed when the SBRHS website is updated with official information have been notified about 10 days ago the trip was a no-go. I would suggest you email the webmaster of the FRPA site to see why they have left incorrect information on their site for a couple of days.

FYI:

A post on Trainorders reports an agreement WAS reached at the last minute, and 3751 IS going, if not there already.
