The cincinnatian

We're planning action-packed and full-featured attractions for The Cincinnatian including a superb hotel, numerous layouts, clinics and outside tours, as well as the contest, a raffle, a large white elephant sale, and lots of fellowship opportunities!

We plan to have about 70 layouts open (several conducting op sessions, 47 published), numerous clinics (3 large regular rooms + a make’ n take room with several 3 hour long workshops), and fantastic rail and general interest tours.  The hotel is very nice, new and modern, with free parking.  We're also working with the superb hotel restaurant to add grab 'n go sandwich offerings for those wishing for a fast breakfast and lunch.

We’re also lining up several featured guest clinicians including Lou and Cheryl Sassi, Dr. Cinthia Priest and Stephen Priest, MMR, and Craig Fuller.  Cheryl will lead a make ’n take model tree clinic.  Craig Fuller, the CEO of Firecrown Media, will be both our banquet speaker as well as a clinician, where he’ll provide an update on the Motion Museum he’s planning to build in Chattanooga (including the locos, rolling stock and structures from the former EnterTRAINment Junction) as well as the status of changes for Trains.com and the former Kalmbach magazines he purchased.

We're excited about all these opportunities, and hope to see you here in 2027 as we continue to renew old friendships and make new ones. Please see below for some tentative reference documents.
