          he NMRA National Convention is right next door to
        
        
          MRH in 2015, which is Portland, Oregon. The MRH
        
        
          headquarters is in Woodburn, Oregon, about 30 miles
        
        
          south of downtown Portland. The official convention dates,
        
        
          including the National Train Show, are August 23-30, 2015 (that’s
        
        
          from Sunday to Sunday). For more, see the convention website

          Some MRH staffers’ layouts that will be on tour during this con-
        
        
          vention. Charlie Comstock’s Bear Creek & South Jackson will be
        
        
          open, as well as Joe Fugate’s Siskiyou Line. Charlie and Joe are not
        
        
          only expecting to be open for layout tours, but they’re also plan-
        
        
          ning to host some operating sessions as well, for those who want
        
        
          to try their hand at a realistic op session or two.
        
        
          Joe Fugate will be doing a blog on the MRH website about his
        
        
          layout preparations for the NMRA National. Not only will you
        
        
          get a preview of the layout, but you’ll see what it takes to get a
        
        
          layout ready to show. Joe’s layout has been dormant for the last
        
        
          couple years as he dedicated most of his free hours to growing
        
        
          MRH’s eBook capability and launching TrainMasters TV.
