The Lynden Train Show is this coming weekend, Saturday October 6 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday the 7th from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Several of our modular groups will be there. I plan to be there Saturday. The location is:
Northwest Washington Fair & Event Center

Lynden, Washington 98264

Congratulations to each of our clinics with great starts to the season. This is an opportunity to share our experiences in model railroading. Spread the word amongst your friends who share interest in trains. Each clinic is encouraged to post in the Grab Iron an article of recent or future topics.

There is an opportunity this Friday evening to hear an excellent presentation about “SEATTLE’S FIRST RAILROAD”, the early movement of coal from Newcastle to Seattle by means of a Tram and Incline. Coal cars were barged across Lake Washington and Lake Union, over narrow-gauge tracks which went up what is now Westlake Avenue to a Pike Street pier.

The program begins at 7:00 PM. Never before seen photos and maps will be shown. Join me there.
