Alberta Free-mo set-up in Big Valley AB

Date:

08/16/2012 - 12:00pm - 08/19/2012 - 12:00am

Venue:

Hockey Arena

Location:

Big Valley AB

There's always the annual Alberta Free-mo set-up in Big Valley AB - 2nd weekend after the August long weekend (16-19 August, 2012). All are invited.

We have an entire hockey arena to ourselves, there's on-site camping, and a whole whack of train-related items in the area - APR usually has live steam running, the railroad museum, interpretive centres for the old roundhouse, ash pits, etc. This past year, we also rented a diesel trainer and got some hands-on experience as engineer and conductor running and switching at 1:1 scale - was an absolutely-amazing weekend!
