Our Clinic this month is titled “The Everett & Monte Cristo Ry in Trainz” and will be presented by Didrik Voss.  Didrik is a very talented local modeler and a NMRA MMR.  He has prototype modeled the Everett & Monte Cristo Ry, circa 1900, in his basement. However, he was only able to model 2 miles of the 68-mile route. As a result, he began modeling the remaining 66 miles on the computer using Trainz. This clinic will be a walkthrough on what has been accomplished so far. Please realize, this is 68 real miles, plus all of Everett with the GN and NP lines overlapping. If the interest is there, he would be happy to get into more detail on how to create the Everett & Monte Cristo Ry in Trainz.

After the Clinic, we will have some time for other folks to show off their latest model work in our “Show and Brag” segment.  The Clinic will wrap up with some administrative comments.
