The National Model Rail Road Association Fourth Division of the Pacific Northwest Region (NMRA 4dPNR) Redmond Clinic for September was held Thursday evening at the Redmond Community Center, Alex Brikoff presiding. After a brief social interlude, the gathering was brought to focus around 7:15 PM. Notable attendees were introduced and upcoming events of interest were announced. The 4D Grab-Iron newsletter and Events Calendar are a great resource to keep you abreast of activities.
As we reminisced our train-themed vacation trip activities over the summer, several of the group gave short presentations about new layouts being designed, planned and built. Due to the great interest we ran over the allotted meeting time. It’ll be very interesting to hear the progress reports on these new layouts as time goes on.
For the model of the month and photo if the month, Russ Segner showed two brass locomotive purchases, an Sn3 consolidation and an HOn3 consolidation. Bob Rorabaugh showed an article on massive northwest tree stumps and the stories they hold. Syd Schofield showed a picture of the Bear River bridge and trestle on the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad in northern California obtained at their museum in Grass Valley, CA.
Bob Rorabaugh brought his usual “For Sale” items as an opportunity available to all attendees. Due to the clinic running late, the door prize portion of the clinic was very abbreviated with a promise to return to the regular door prize give away next month. The meeting concluded at 9:15 PM.
