Operating Sessions

Welcome to the Operating Sessions for the North Coast Limited 2024 MCR Regional Convention. Most Operating Sessions will be on Thursday night, with a couple other opportunities. The matrix below contains the layout hosts, some basic information, and the schedule. Below the matrix are links to more detail on each layout and operating session, including links to the Layout Tours page.

Times listed are START times for the Operating Session; DOORS OPEN 30 minutes prior and you should plan to arrive near that time for the pre-session briefing and assignments.

If you are already registered for the Convention, please refer to the email from Bruce Bowie, dated 2/5/2024, for instructions on how to sign up for Operating Sessions.

If you have not yet registered, or are registering now, you can sign up for Operating Sessions during your registration process.

Once you are signed up for a session, we’ll provide additional information by email prior to the convention. We’ll have staff available at the convention site Thursday evening to help operators as needed, including arranging carpooling. If you are arriving Thursday evening, you may proceed directly to your host’s site if needed.
