The gathering of railroad and model train enthusiasts in the Redmond Community Center at Marymoor Village was brought to a dull murmur by Alex Brikoff around 7:10 Thursday evening.

After introduction of notable persons and upcoming events, Jonathan Fischer gave a slide presentation and narration of railroad activity around Bellingham, Washington. There were several railroad lines running through and serving industry there before the recent consolidation. John showed the interactions and mostly cooperation between these railroads while they served the region.

Following the presentation, the Model-of-the-Month was chosen to be a Bavarian-style house by Anton Faulk. As an award, he got the first pick of the door prize collection. For the most part the door prizes are contributed by generous local hobby shops and fellow NMRA members.
