6th Annual Wild Eagle Railroad Open House
Phoenix, Arizona
Saturday, April 16th from 10:00am to 4:00pm
Sunday, April 17th from 10:00am to 3:00pm

In its 6th year the Wild Eagle Railroad Open House is a show that continues to draw people from far and near. This year there will be over a dozen layouts open throughout the valley. There are also three overhead train systems, two inside and one outside right there at the show. Located at 4007 N. 22nd. Ave, one block south of Indian School Rd. on the east side of 22nd Ave. Look for the banner out front.

If you live within this yellow circle you live within a four hour drive of the show. If you are looking for a local show that is only Large Scale, has dealers and manufacturers, and over a dozen layouts open for you to visit, this is your chance.

A special event will be held on Saturday night, April 16th. There will be a gathering at the famous Rancho de Tia Rosa Restaurant at 3129 E. McKellips in Mesa, AZ, where you can enjoy great food in a relaxing atmosphere. You will be able to visit with many of the hobbyists who have come into town for this event, as well as the manufacturers who are participating as vendors. This event is ‘dutch treat’, making it easy for you to take part as your wallet and appetite allows! Please RSVP so that they have a general idea of how many people to expect. rrirondan@aol.com
