(NEW!) In your Registration Package you will find a Rail Pass
and Auction Bidding Card. Keep this card with you as you run trains and bring
it to the Auction.
RAIL PASS
;)
We have
a lot of Operating Divisions at the Capitol Limited N Scale East 2014, most
will be DCC, but DC will be available as well. Not only is there one large loop
transiting several Divisions, many have one or two loops within their Division
or are independent Divisions, run by participating NTRAK clubs, separate from
the main layout. Complete rules for running on any of the Divisions are
included in the Convention Program. This is a great opportunity to run on some
of the many variants of NTRAK. If you didn’t bring a DC or DCC engine, don’t
forget we have a lot of vendors willing to sell you one! We may even have a loaner train to run on the
narrow gauge Nn3 Division!
After you complete running on a Division hand the Rail
Pass to a member of Northern Virginia NTRAK (NVNTRAK), the folks wearing the yellow convention shirts,
and they will initial the back of the card with the Division Name. See if you can complete running on all the
Divisions before the end of the convention and we will have a special door
prize for you.
AUCTION
The auction
will be Saturday night, August 9th, from 7 PM until 9 PM, in the
Expo Center near the food service area. All registered attendees and their
families are invited. Snacks will be served and you will be able to run trains.
Hopefully some preferred vendors will be open for business as well. We’ll also
have some door prizes.
Our auction items come from many of the well-known
manufacturers and include locos, rolling stock, DVDs, books, railroadiana and
tools.
We will have two auctions running at the same time; only
registered attendees can bid so bring your bidding card. The Silent auction
will start at 7 PM and close at 8:45 PM. You can bid in increments as noted on
the bidding sheet or you can win the item immediately at the BUY IT NOW price…
just contact an auction assistant. The
live auction will begin at 7:15 PM and continue until we sell the last item.
You can pay for your items at the cashier with cash,
check, credit card or PayPal. Take your BUY IT NOW bid sheet to the cashier
immediately and then show the receipt to the auction assistant. For other
silent auction items, pay the cashier after the auction closes and then take
the receipt to the auction assistant. For live auction items, go to the cashier
and pay and pick up your item immediately after your win.
