Eastside Layout Tour Proposal

Russ Segner

Many of us visited layouts open in Olympia on April 30th. So far, several groupings of layouts throughout the region are open on weekends during the year, but there is no such opportunity on the Eastside (East of Lake Washington). These open houses are usually Saturdays from 1 to 5.

I am proposing a layout tour in the Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Issaquah, Renton, Maple Valley, Kent, Auburn, and other close by areas for a weekend in mid July.

If you have a layout you would be willing to open to members sometime this summer and are located in one of these areas, please contact me at 452-228-7327 or by email at russseg@gmail.com.

New Clinic Reminder, Newcastle Public Library on April 14

Russ Segner

Thursday night, April 14 at 6:30 pm
Newcastle Public Library
Social Hour from 6:30 to 7:30

This will be a meeting to test the level of interest in starting a new clinic in the south end handy to Bellevue, Renton, Kent, Maple Valley, and Issaquah.

There will also be a presentation “The Coal Mines of Newcastle” by me (Russ Segner). This will describe the first significant railroad in the Seattle area which handled coal from mines in Newcastle just east of Lake Washington to Seattle where millions of tons of coal were shipped by boats to San Francisco. This little railroad is an excellent example of smaller rail lines which we can easily model.

If you are interested in having a clinic nearer to you, come on by and get acquainted. I can be contacted at russseg@gmail.com or 206-200-2211.
