Let’s start the new year with a look at how to create realistic scenes on our layouts. We will use several examples from Dale Kreutzer’s fully scenicked layout in Port Orchard. Dale has taken photos at locations in Colorado he is modelling and created large backdrops, some over 20 feet in length. He has carefully blended the foreground materials with the backdrops in a manner that completely hides the transition from the horizontal to the vertical.

Topic will be Large Layout Operations with Jim Younkins and Brian Ferris. This is our third straight clinic on operations. Join us to learn how to set up and conduct operations on your layout, no matter what size. In January we did prototype operation ideas from 3 professional railroad engineers that are also model builders. In February, Lee Bishop and Ry Bates presented Small Layout Operations. In April we will finish up the series with Using JMRI For Operations. We are compiling some great operations ides and will share an overview at the end of all the presentations.
The clinic will be presented in person at Panorama City:
1751 Circle Ln SE, Lacey, WA 98503
