Our Clinic this week will feature two parts. The first will be a discussion about operations on a layout. We will use the feedback from four sessions held on my layout, the Coal Creek Lumber Company. We will talk about how operations help us to better design our track plans and develop more interesting operating sessions..

The second part will feature a presentation by Bob Kenworthy who will share photographs of an HO model of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad’s Engine House and Shop in Carson City, NV. The model was built in the 1980s or 1990s by the late Tom Mercer of Sacramento. Tom scratch-built models of most the V&T’s structures between Carson City and Virginia City. Bob acquired these models when Tom disassembled his layout in 2014. The engine house model is interesting in its size, the use of some unusual materials, and the attention to detail.”

Join us and share your interests in model railroading. The link to the meeting will be sent to all on our Eastside email list. If you are not on our list and want to join us, contact Doug Oldenburg at douglas.oldenburg@Yahoo.com
