Mark 10:00 a.m., May 22nd on your calendar now so you don’t miss this year’s 4D Spring Meet. We will meet via Zoom, right on your computer or phone. We’ll have some important announcements, plus two MMR clinicians and a few surprises.

Di Voss,MMR, NMRA Western District Director

Di will discuss how he created the virtual Everett & Monte Cristo Railway on his computer using Trainz and the various tools and programs needed so you can do the same.

Gary Jordan, MMR, Gilpin Tram Railway

I was tired of operating my layout alone. Burr Stewart had a session with several operators in remote locations. I thought I could do the same thing. He used Zoom and some old cell phones at strategic locations with access to the layout provided by JMRI on each operator’s cell phone throttle and their computer as a Zoom meeting client. I thought, ‘That could work on the Tram!’

Superintendent Russ Segner will announce this year’s Golden Grab Iron winner. We’ll hold our annual business meeting (in merely a few minutes). Jacob Wright will show off the new 4D Facebook page. And much more. How can we pack all this in to a mere two hours? Show up and see!

We will post Zoom access links in the Grab Iron a few days before the meet. We’ll open up at 9:45 for you early birds who love to chat before meetings. But you have to provide your own coffee!
