The San Luis Obispo Model Railroad Association (SLOMRA) and the Oceano Depot Association will be co-hosting their 5th Annual “Model Railroad Days” on Saturday and Sunday, January 28th & 29th.  This popular free community event will run from 10:00am until 4:00pm daily at the historic Oceano Depot.  The SLOMRA will again display a wide variety of operating model trains and the entire Depot will be open to display its unique artifacts from Oceano and the adjacent railroad.  Although this event will act as a fundraiser and member development event for both organizations, the real intent of Model Railroad Days is to share the history of trains and love of modeling with the community.  The Oceano Depot is located at 1650 Front Street, between Highway One and the Union Pacific railroad tracks in “downtown” Oceano just south of the track overpass.
