Now that I have recovered from my extended ‘turkey coma’ from the Thanksgiving holiday (that’s my excuse and I am sticking with it), I finally remembered to send out a post for the virtual North End clinic that is TONIGHT!

My apologies for the late notice, but, if you have time this evening, please log in to learn about model railroading and share your own hobby activities with like-minded folks.

This evening’s clinic will be presented by Russ Segner on Interesting Rail Served Buildings that you can model.

Here is the Zoom link info for the call. Meeting starts at 7pm and participants will be let in from the lobby starting at about 6:45pm.

Topic: December North End NMRA Virtual Clinic
Time: Dec 3, 2020 07:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

We added an extra Zoom session on December 5 for you to see the two layout tours that were interrupted during the November 14 session. As usual, the meeting will start at 10:00am. The first will be Dave Woodrell with his Sn3 version of the Rio Grande Southern, and then Greg Wright will show us how he built an earthen “table” in his back yard over the summer to develop an outdoor layout. Don’t miss it!

We have improved the Zoom security procedures for all upcoming 4DPNR meetings, so as part of that, the Zoom info for the meeting will be shared with you in an announcement like this about 48 hours before the meeting is scheduled to begin.

Our Clinic this month is titled “Steam Locomotive Appliances” and will be presented by Ted Becker.  This clinic will finally answer: What is about all that “stuff” hanging on the locomotive with all those pipes running all over the outside, compressors, turbos, injectors, feedwater heaters, pumps, turrets, and why they are there.  The clinic will also cover a little bit on how a steam locomotive works with a touch of history. 

After the Clinic, we will have some time for other folks to show off their latest model work in our “Show and Brag” segment.

Unfortunately, our Zoom layout tours meeting on November 14 was Zoombombed. I want to apologize for any upset feelings this may have caused. We are taking quick action to maximize the security of all online meetings.

I appreciate your patience and understanding. We have provided the clinic chairs with revised recommendations for their Zoom security settings. If you have any comments, please send them to communications@4dPNR.com.
