It was a full house at the Paradise Lanes meeting room.  MMR Gene Swanson  gave a presentation on   the prototypical use of telltales  and how to model them using stripwood and thin music wire.  He covered the history of telltales, when and where the railroads use them, and the several different designs used.

Rob, proprietor of Rob’s Trains and Hobbies,  showed off the latest stuff available for Christmas.

The Modeler’s Showcase was well populated this month.

My apologies to Mitch Schoonejans  for not having a picture of his Eiffel Tower. It was the largest model there, by far, and I FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE!!   It looked to be 1:200 scale and stood over three feet high. I am abashed and embarrassed.

Next Clinic:  Thursday, December 13.  Dirty Santa will be there.
