Model Railroad Society Summer Show:

Larkey Park
2751 Buena Vista Ave., Walnut Creek
Saturday, June 29th, 2013
8:00pm – 10:00pm | $3

Families can ‘ride’ the Diablo Valley Lines during their three whistle stop summer shows, featuring hundreds of model trains representing the mid 20th century through today, traveling over 4,300 feet of track on one of the world’s most mountainous model railroad layouts. The continuous show, dispatched by two Walnut Creek Model Railroad Society members, includes a dramatic sunset and night scenes with a rainy thunderstorm, a street railway with trolley cars, big freight yards and a large passenger terminal.

The elaborate 34×56 foot layout includes a composite of the mountainous area of the Western United States, bridges, tunnels, terrain from desert to snow covered mountains, towns, train yards, electric street cars, wind turbine, ski lift gondola and more. More than 200 train cars and 50 steam and diesel engines are in operation during the show. A unique summertime experience for the whole family – especially train buffs!

The spaces at these classes are highly coveted. Please call now if this is something that you would like your budding chef to experience. The three classes are held on Saturdays, from 1-3 pm.
And here are the dates:
July 13, July 27, August 10
Chef Kevin chooses a dish that he finds fun and exciting to prepare with kids, ages 7-13.
We’re sorry, but this is for kids only! Please drop your sous chef off at the aft deck at 1:00 and pick him or her up at 3:00. These classes are as much fun for Chef Kevin as they are for the kids, so we do not charge for them.
