The West Bay Model Railroad Association will show the progress it’s made on a new model railway layout with open houses on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 6 and 7, at the Model Railroad Building at 1090 Merrill St. in Menlo Park, just south of the train station and near Ravenswood Avenue.
The hours are 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday and 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday. Caltrain’s holiday train is scheduled to arrive at the Menlo Park station at 7:45 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7.
Admission to the open houses is free, but donations are appreciated, said Lauren Mercer of the model railroaders.
The association started building the new layout about a year and a half ago, and didn’t hold an open house last year, he said. This year, the open houses will show the progress the association has made by running trains on one level of a proposed two-level layout. Club members will be available to answer questions.
“The layout is a long ways from being completed but we are able to have part of it operational,” Mr. Mercer said.
