The Tacoma N Scalers met June 3, 2010 at the Fircrest Recreation Center. The meeting was called to disorder at 7:30 and began with a review of the coming events for the next three months and a discussion of the newly announced products coming in N scale. A check around the room found that for some odd reason many people are turning their attention to outdoor things. This is odd because it’s still raining and cold most of the time.

The clinic for the night was “Signals” and was presented by Ed Hill. Ed was quite thorough, covering things not only from A to Z, but including a very thick handout for us to remind ourselves of just what Ed said/covered. Ed had prototype examples of various types and sizes of signals, spanning the time era of the ’20s to the present (he used photos, not the real thing). Everyone was happy to know all about signals and some are contemplating adding them to their layout. I don’t desire to rewrite my operating plan so I will leave the signals to others and continue to operate in the dark.

Our July clinic will be held on July 1, 2010 … that’s right, on the 1st. We will convene at 7:00 PM for the “Bull Session” and start the meeting itself at precisely (?) 7:30. The subject of the clinic is “Painting Brass.  The presenter will be Bob Judge and he will be backed up by Tyler Whitcomb (very far back).

The Tacoma N Scalers are a very friendly group of people who would be very pleased to have you join us for information, education and fun. We meet at the Fircrest Recreation Center, 555 Contra Costa in Fircrest, WA.

See you at the next meeting!
