Eastside Clinic Thursday January 16

Our clinic this Thursday will feature several of our group sharing something of their current model railroading.

Alex Brikoff will show photos of his Milwaukee Road layout of the Othello area. He will also demonstrate his new control system. John Thompson will share progress on his new HO layout featuring the Santa Fe in Victorville, California. He will also show photos of the layouts at the Tacoma History Museum over the holidays. Di Voss will show his latest project of creating an HO scale Streetcar, circa. 1900, that he printed on a 3D printer. Di now lives in an “Over 55 Retirement Community” in Arizona, where one club has a 5 color 3D printer. 



Finally, I share photos of my collection of HO steam D&RGW locomotives. Come join us and share what you have been modeling.

Eastside Clinic Chair

March 21 Eastside Clinic

We will honor Ted Becker, a long time contributer to the Fourth Division activities. I have a copy of a recent presentation by the Mt. Vernon Clinic which honored Ted Becker who recently passed away. We will use that clinic presentation as a springboard in a discussion of how individuals can share their interests and skills in model railroading.

There will be many updates to coming events, so be prepared to comment and share.

Share photos of recent modeling, discuss a favorite tool or technique or ask the group for help with a model project.
