NMRA, 4th Division, Pacific Northwest Region, East Side Get-Together on 6/20/2019

The Thursday gathering officially started around 7:15, Alex Brikoff, presiding.  Notable attendees were introduced and upcoming events of interest were announced.

The presentation for the evening was by Dan Kellogg based on his experience with the BNSF Northwest Division.  He had a slide show of his N-scale three-tier shelf layout.  The spare(d) 10×10 home bedroom was configured for minimal disruption in consideration of future restoration.  The layout was built on a lightweight modular design with that in mind.  Dan showed the work-in-progress of the layout with one level, the downtown Seattle area, almost complete.

The model-of-the-month was awarded to J. J. Johnston for his multi-story apartment building.  Photo(s)-of-the-month was given to Syd Schofield for his pictures of the restored and operating Virginia and Truckee Railroad McKeen motor car in Carson City.

The meeting concluded with the door prize drawings with the MOTM and the POTM winners getting first choices.

The regular 4th Thursday of the month meetings will resume in September after the usual summer break of July and August.  The summer railroad-related pictures and stories will then be presented and discussed.
