The Skagit Valley and Whidbey clinic will start it’s 2018/19 season on 12 September at the Summerhill Retirement community rec room in Oak Harbor.  (165 SW 6th Ave) at 7:00pm.  Our guest speaker will be Eric Erickson who will provide a presentation on the Great Northern steam locomotives and track plans in the northwest.  Eric will have several historical photos to support his clinic which came from the Charles and Dorothy Wood collection.  We look forward to some interesting and locally significant prototype history from Eric.
