Twenty-seven model railroaders gathered at the Pierce County Library administration building on November 9 and were called to order (sort of) by Wain Miller, substituting for the ailing Gene Swanson.

The topic for the evening was  The Art of The Streamliner, a fascinating computer/slide program  narrated by railroad historian Joe Welsh.  The program covered both steam and diesel streamliners, including the Twentieth Century Limited, the Broadway Limited, the Super Chief, the Burlington Zephyr, and others.

The modeler’s showcase again had only three entrants: Warren Kerr’s Hon3 2 truck shay. Paul Vaughn’s On30  kitbashed car float, and a four building Swiss  village by yours truly.

We REALLY need more models.  C’mon, guys and gals. This January bring along something to show.

Remember. the December clinic will be held   at the Puyallup Community Baptist Church, 1318 9th Ave SW, Puyallup WA 98371.  It’s the Christmas party, so bring your appetite and a gift for Dirty Santa.
