Had a nice visit from forum member FMC who is from Boston Ma.
We gave him a behind the scenes tour.
Hope you enjoyed it.

Great layout (s). I also got a behind the layout tour too when I visited a couple years ago. A gem in the SD area. The whole park (Balboa) is a must see.

I'm only there on Tuesday's. The club president is also there on Tuesday's but is currently out of town until after York. If you come on Tuesday there is no need for an appointment just come on by. I am not an officer of the club and can not make arrangements for other days. If you have another day in mind you can get info at the clubs contact page http://www.sd3r.org/contact_info/contact_info.html Please remember we are in a museum and there is a small admission fee.
Thanks for your interest.

Now that I am back from my trip to San Diego I would like to extend my appreciation to Big Dodge Train and the staff at the San Diego 3 Railers for their hospitality and behind the scene tour of the club layout. This is a first class model railroad club with a friendly staff that took the time to take me behind the scenes of the club layout. With plenty of scenic action & great trains running on the layout I could have spent the entire day or week. I should have packed an engine or two in my suitcase. The best part is being able to make new friends with club members from the east coast to west and share our interest. The invitation is extended to any member of the San Diego 3 Railers to come visit the Boston Metro Hi-Railers when visiting the Boston area. Thanks again everyone as this was certainly one of the highlights of my trip to San Diego.
My wife and I will be making our first trip to San Diego between Oct 23-28 and we are looking forward to seeing this layout during our visit.
I went down there a couple months ago, joined the club, packed up a train to take down there and run, but havent been able to get back down there. Something always comes up, and gonna miss the Oct party because I'll be at York that weekend.
The guys at SD3R are a class act. 
I was in SD last year for spring break. I visited Balboa Park and really enjoyed the SDMRRM, the HO and the O layouts were the best. The 3 rail layout had some nice people that I talked to. If I go back to SD I'll be sure to stop by again!
