The LDSIG is looking forward to welcoming our members to Salt Lake City for the 2019 NMRA National convention.
The LDSIG Wednesday Layout Tour is open to all Convention Attendees. The Tour includes a specially designed shirt customized for the Salt Lake City Convention. Tickets for the tour will be available through the Company Store. To sign up for the tour and get your LDSIG SLC polo shirt follow the directions below the names of the layout owners and railroads below the map.
In the past these tours have served to highlight some of the more innovative layouts being constructed in the host city and this year will be no exception.
Below is a map with the approximate locations of the tour layouts. A detailed handout to the layout locations will be provided Wednesday morning at the LDSIG General Membership Meeting in the SIG Room to those who have signed up for the Wednesday layout tour.
