The Boeing Employees Model Railroad Club, the SEATTLE AND NORTH CASCADES RAILROAD, finally has a new home. We have leased part of a building and are in the process of cleaning up the space and preparing for a new layout. The building is centrally located in Burien in the 400 block on SW 153rd St. All the materials have been moved from storage to the new location including those portions of the old layout that are to be considered for use as part of the new layout.

A new layout is in design stages and it is hoped that a first operating session may be held in late spring 2011. Making a layout do everything for everybody is difficult so initial phases are with a design committee to seek a layout that will both fit the space available and satisfy most of the desires of the membership.

Our November 13 Swap meet is on schedule with the usual first class presentation by our dealers, info on the Swap Meet will be in the Digital Grab Iron soon.
