What's New as of 9 June 2004!!!

Gotta get away from it all, if only for a few minutes?  Check out our Things to Do and Places to See page! 

Extra Fare and non-Rail Tours Timetable now posted!  This is just a preliminary timetable - details to follow!

Check out the updated layout diagram

Rumors are running rampant!  Check our Rumor Central page (Updated on 5/22/2004)!  

NEWS FLASH 5/18/04!

All good things must end - the Early Bird Registration did!  It ended on May 15, 2004.  However, it seemed, well, unfair to penalize loyal convention goers, so what used to be the Early Bird Registration is now the 

Special Registration 

- and it's still available!   The only requirement is that you stay at one of the Official Convention Lodgings and send us your reservation confirmation number with your registration... Check out the On-line Registration page for details!

Added Timetable PDF file* to the On-site Timetable Page!

You can now pre-register for the Extra Fare Clinics - simply go to our on-line registration page or print a registration form* to order these clinics!

Build a custom laser-cut kit of the famed Fairfax Station (well-known haunt of NVNTRAK), build a brass structure kit, or even build an "open load" for your flat car or gondola!  Check it out...

Want to buy some Extra Fare items but don't need to register?  Check out the new instructions at the top of the Registration Page

Hey - check it out!  The Timetable's been updated!

Clinics have now been added to the schedule!

Layout Tours at the Capitol Limited 2004

Check back to the Layout Tours page regularly because changes will appear!

Fresh from our Engineering Shops comes the detailed layout plan  - check it out on our Layout Page - click on the Layout Page!  Well, actually, on a link from that page to the Layout Diagram Page...

The (excruciatingly) detailed Convention Operating Timetable has now been posted on the Timetable Page - check it out!

The  NSC Swap Meet has now been added to the On-Line Registration Page - check it out!  You'll find all manner of esoteric, rare, and just plain neat N scale goodies at this event!  Attendance is free to all registered attendees and table registration is quite inexpensive for those attendees wishing to participate as sellers...

Yow!  Nearby the Capitol Limited 2004 is the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center of the Smithsonian Institution's Air and Space Museum!  This place has a great display of aviation history - you know, aircraft, the bigger, the better!  There are few better ways to spend your non-train hours than browsing amongst the Space Shuttle, the Enola Gay, a Blackbird - nothing like this to give you a sense of perspective when looking at locomotives (and air transport is honorarily the second best freight and passenger mover)!  What could be cooler?  Oh - and there's a free shuttle bus between the convention site and the museum!  OK - that's cooler...

Be ye aware!  The special $65 Early Bird registration rate will expire on May 15, 2004!  Check our Registration Page for details...

Check out the Getting There page for information on how to get to the Capitol Limited 2004, where to park, where to eat, and other (non) trivial logistics matters!  Not a lot of information there just now, but this is where you'll find out!

T-TRAK will be at the Capitol Limited 2004! If you want to bring your T-TRAK modules with you to the show, please contact Lee Fitzgerald directly for more information about the T-TRAK layout.  Lee is your "Club Coordinator" for T-TRAK and will be in direct contact with our Module Coordinator, Matt Schaefer, to be sure that you're "in" the T-TRAK layout!

Check out the Registration Page - it now  explains how you can order Extra Fare items after you've sent in your registration!

You can now make your reservations at the official Hotel of the Capitol Limited 2004 by phone and on-line!  Check out the details on our Registration Page!
