Another Example of Kevin’s Work
Mini-Clinics
We have mini-Clinics to share skills and techniques. Let Ted Becker know if you’d like to be on the agenda.
Show & Tell and Tool Time
We encourage attendees to bring models for “show and tell” – show us what you’re working on, even if it is not complete.
And, if you have a tool or gadget that you have found useful, bring it along and share it with us. We also encourage folks to bring along items for sale or swap, or even “freebies” – we’ll have a table for those items.

Pre-Clinic Dinner
For those interested in extra socializing over a bite to eat before the Clinic, we have arranged pre-Clinic, no host, dinners. Bring your NMRA Membership card and get a 20% discount! Attached is a Google Map link for the Chuckwagon Drive-in, 800 North 4th Street, Mt Vernon.
Arrival & Entry
As a courtesy to the other attendees, please try to arrive before 7:00. If you are unavoidably late, please enter quietly without interrupting the proceedings. We are not permitted to have the main Northeast entry door unlocked nor are we permitted to prop it open. Entry is through the rear door at the Southwest corner of the building which is kept open in the evening. A sign will be posted at the correct door (there is another rear door on the West side).
Sponsorship
The Mt Vernon Model Railroad Clinic is a NMRA sanctioned event. The 4th Division of the Pacific Northwest Region of NMRA provides funding of operating budgets for clinics in the division including ours. Thus, NMRA membership is heartily encouraged.
If you are not quite ready to sign up for a full membership, you might want to try the 6-month Rail Pass trial membership for only $9.95. It includes 6 months of NMRA Magazine, plus all regular member benefits (except voting). Please let Ted Becker or Roger Johnson know if you wish to join NMRA.
