Olympia Clinic
Olympia March Clinic
The March Olympia clinic will focus on creating prototype-based operations utilizing photographs, maps, timetables, historical records, and train consists. Brian Ferris will cover how prototype information might be used to develop model operations. The goal of this clinic is to inspire modelers to research how real railroads ran and to use that information to create realistic operations on their layouts.
This will be a hybrid clinic, Zoom and in person.
