Have you seen the article in the NMRA Magazine about Build A Memory? The NMRA instituted it with Lowe’s Hardware for helping people get started in model railroading by giving instruction on how to build a module. Where does 4D come in? We are one of the first divisions to participate in the program.

Our first BAM session will be November 16 at the Great Train Expo in Puyallup. However, we need some folks to help with the process. 4D has always been a hotbed for modular construction, so there is a lot of available talent. Some of you are probably planning on going to GTE anyway, so this is the perfect opportunity to help the division while you’re there.

If you have module building experience, or teaching experience, or both, please donate a couple of hours to this effort. This is a great way to give back to the hobby as well as promote our great hobby by showing the general public how easy it is to actually build a layout.

Walt Huston and Jack Hamilton will be spearheading this effort, but they can’t do it alone. If you’d like to help, contact Walt (walthuston@earthlink.net) and let him know you’re available.
