Exhibitor Information (Non-seller)
Thank you for considering bringing your
operating layout or static train display to the
Rocky Mountain Toy Train Show at the Mart. The
Rocky Mountain Division of the Train Collectors
Association (RMD-TCA) is sponsoring our second
spring Rocky Mountain Toy Train Show (RMTTS) to
be held at the Denver Merchandise Mart, March
3rd and 4th, 2012. The RMTTS is an all scales
train show and a regional destination event
promoting the toy and scale train hobbies.
Our organization has sponsored a Holiday train
show in the Denver area for the last 33 years.
RMD-TCA is a non-profit Corporation that has
members in the states of Colorado, Utah,
Wyoming, Nebraska and Montana, and our previous
shows have had many attendees from New Mexico,
Arizona, Nevada and California. For 2012, we
have contracted for a 120,000 square foot space
at the Mart, which is conveniently located at
I-25 and 58th Avenue in Denver.
Approximately one half of that space will be
devoted to operating layouts and other
non-selling exhibits. We have designed the show
to promote the toy train hobby to the public by
featuring many activities to bring families with
young children in the door. Among these
activities are approximately 25 operating train
layouts, manufacturers’ displays, how-to
clinics, presentations by tourist railroads and
museums throughout the region, door prize
drawings and many fun things to do in our Kids
Corner.
In order to make your organization’s
participation easier for 2012, we have made the
following changes. Layout setup will begin at 10
am on Friday and layouts only will be allowed to
unload from 10 am to noon. Additionally, we will
reimburse organizations for mileage to bring
your layout at the current IRS rate or provide
an honorarium based on show success. This
applies to the vehicle hauling your display for
a single round trip.

How-to Clinics are a great way to interest new
people in the hobby and draw potential new members
to your club. Let us know if your organization would
