About 35 modelers showed up on a wet October 14th. Host Gene Swanson moderated the shindig, and Bill from Tacoma Trains showed us several new and interesting items. In the modelers’ showcase, Larry Sloan showed us a new backdrop method printer on Gatorboard, Jim Clowers a kit-built double track Palmer Truss bridge, and Dale Kraus brought in the interior detailed scratchbuilt “Goldener Glocke” Inn. Terrell Goble showed us an airbrushed and detailed “North Coast Limited” in N scale and two Tacoma Rail SD’s (45?). Paul Vaughn had a group of custom decaled freight cars in HO, Sn3, and On30 scales.
Paul took home the Model of the Month gift certificate.
Walt Huston gave a clinic about creating scale trees from clippings of Azalea plants.
