Next Clinic:
Our next clinic meeting is this Thursday, March 5. The topic will be exploring how to put some interest into running on very small layouts. So, if you are tired of going in circles (or back and forth a couple of feet, or swapping the same couple of cars through the same turnout), this may be for you.
Note that the church where we hold our clinics continues its extensive remodeling. Our temporary third floor room is not going to be available this week so when you show up, prepare to be flexible.
Prior Clinic:
Last month the planned video on the building of a local layout was a no-show. Instead we watched an entertaining video on UP Challenger 3985.
“Show and Tell” had Dennis T showing one of his N scale T-TRAK modules. This was a town scene with many of the buildings named after family members. Dennis explained that most of the buildings and rolling stock had been acquired over time via the Seattle-North “Mart.”

Directions: We meet at the Ronald United Methodist Church, 17839 Aurora Avenue North, Shoreline, WA. That is on the west side of Aurora (State Route 99) between 175th and 185th Streets and more specifically, between the Cadillac dealer on the south and Deseret Industries to the north. Going southbound on Aurora, make a right-hand turn into the church driveway immediately after passing the Deseret location. The parking lot is at the rear of the church. From the parking lot go up the steps to the main entrance.
Meetings are the first Thursday of each month, usually September – June. However in June we often do something different, so there may be no “regular” meeting. Doors open at 7:00 PM and the program starts at 7:30.
Remember the next regular evening meeting is March 5. And the one after that is April 2. Hope to see you there or at least sometime on down the line.
