July 13 we had a great turnout for Bob Jensen’s clinic on Structures, from kits. Bob brought some of his structures that he plans on using on his own layout and a warehouse that he has built for the Bremerton Northern Model Railroad Club’s new layout. Bob does wonderful work and discussed how to pick the kind of structures you might want to use on you layout.  Also discussed were different tools, adhesives, and what to use for weathering. Bob also stressed that you also need lots and lots of PATIENCE!

Dennis Hill and Bob Jensen tied in the ‘Model of the Month’.

The next Clinic will be held on August 10 and will be presented by Pete Rowe on ‘Scratch Build Structures’. Hope to see you all there.

The May 11 clinic in Bremerton saw 20 members and 3 guests in attendance. Steve Neupert presented “How to Create Small Bodies of Water on Your Layout.” Steve had models with different stages of detail so that we could see how things would look as we go along. It was very interesting.

Dan Weston won “Model of the Month” with a wooden bridge originally built by Ralph Wasmer, who died a few years ago. Dan has added ties and weathered rails. The bridge will be used on the branch line of the new layout for the Bremerton Northern Model Railroad Club.
