With National Model Railroading Month almost upon us, I thought it
might be a good time to form a list of Model Railroads that are 
"visitable" over most of the year ( Museums, etc)  Soe that come to midn for  
my part of the world are:

_Central Washington Museum_ ; Wenatchee, WA:  Model of the Great Northern
  from Wenatchee to Stevens Pass.  Mostly complete, trains operating.

_King Street Station_ ; Seattle, WA:  The Great Northern from Seattle to
  Stevens Pass.  Usually limited operating hours, but can be viewed
  through the windows.

_Polson Museum_ ; Hoquiam, WA:  The railroads around Grays Harbor and the
  Aberdeen/Hoquiam area.  Mostly under construcation, but a couple      
  dioramas of logging pikes.


Anyone have additions/corrections?  How about your area?

One more club to visit:

Columbia Gorge Model Railroad Club,
Corner of Vancouver & Russell in Portland

Phone number is 28-TRAIN

Club is open and visitors are welcome every Tuesday evening from about
7PM on.  Show dates this year are the first three Saturdays and Sundays
in November from 10AM to 6PM.  

Club theme is railroad action up the Columbia Gorge, Deschutes River
and a logging railroad.  This is a HUGE layout - well worth seeing if
you're in the area.

The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago has a fine, large O scale
layout that is usually operating in at least a simple around-the-loop mode.
