Groundhog Day – 2021
It’s a New Year. How will it be different from last year?
Your Board of Directors and the leaders of our clinics and modular groups will meet online this Saturday the 30th at 10AM to try and answer this. We will discuss what is working for us during the time of lockdown and what we can do to be more effective this year.

Zoom Meeting Problems
By Russ Segner
Unfortunately, our Zoom layout tours meeting on November 14 was Zoombombed. I want to apologize for any upset feelings this may have caused. We are taking quick action to maximize the security of all online meetings.
I appreciate your patience and understanding. We have provided the clinic chairs with revised recommendations for their Zoom security settings. If you have any comments, please send them to communications@4dPNR.com.

Hi-Railers Attention
By Russ Segner
Mike Donnelly has been a volunteer at the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie for many years now. The Museum has acquired an O scale layout from the former Bellingham Railway Museum.
They are looking for “experts” to reconnect the track and accessory wiring, and to refresh the scenery. There is a little bit of trouble-shooting on the lower level, which has reportedly never been fully reliable.
The entire layout is Lionel 027. The Northwest Railway Museum will provide any materials needed.
Anyone interested should contact volunteer coordinator Emily at emily@TrainMuseum.org

Tyler Whitcomb – MMR 663
By Russ Segner
Congratulations to Tyler for his completion of all the work to achieve his MMR. He is #663 and joins a large number of MMRs here in the Fourth Division.
Tyler has hosted many open houses and always amazes us with his beautiful model building. Here a few pictures that make that point.
I look forward to seeing this work up close soon.

Thank You Mike
By Russ Segner
Thank you, Mike Donnelly.
I want to make known to all the Fourth Division membership my deep gratitude to Mike for his superb performance as our Treasurer. Mike has served in that position for 7 years. He has been diligent in reorganizing some of our approaches to budgeting as well as documentation of expenditures for reimbursements. Our finances are in good order.
Mike has been an active member of the 4D Ntrak modular group for many years. He designed their superb carrying carts for loading and storing their modules. Mike’s skills as a designer at Boeing came in handy when he measured and drew plans for the new wood cab for the rebuilt Northern Pacific 0-6-0 at Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie. He is now preparing the working drawings for the new headlight.
Mike continues his volunteer work at the shops in Snoqualmie. Better yet, now he is busy expanding his home HO scale layout. It is designed for operation with an industrial theme of a railway in Maine. It will be well done I am sure.
Thanks again, Mike
Russ Segner, 4D Superintendent
