Help Wanted

By Kurt Laidlaw

At the Maple Valley Train Show I met a woman named Lorraine Jacobs. Her husband died and she is looking for someone who can help her finish his N scale layout. From our conversation it was clear she didn’t know much about model railroading, but she wanted to honor her husband by finishing his 4’ x8’ layout. If there is anyone who lives relatively close to her who would be willing to help her finish the layout, she would really appreciate it. If you would like to call her and see what the project would take to finish, please call her at 425-443-5648.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this project.

Help Wanted Constructing Layouts at Foss Waterway Seaport

Bud Thompson

Help Wanted!

Use all of your model railroading skills to help construct two layouts in the Foss Waterway Seaport (FWS) at 705 Dock Street, Tacoma, WA. We are building an HO scale model of the Northern Pacific’s “Half Moon Yard” that is located across the street from the FWS. We are also building a G scale layout that visitors to the FWS can use to demonstrate their switching abilities.

Both layouts are funded and we have building materials and tools on hand for volunteers to use. The next workshop will be Sunday, Mar 15th from 9 am to 5 pm, followed by workshops on Monday from 10 am to 3 pm and Tue through Friday from 8 am to 1 pm. Come and work as long as you wish. Attendees will be able to use existing skills and possibly learn some new ones, all while we are building the HO and G scale layouts.

Please contact me (Bud Thompson) to let us know if you can help, at 206-310-9414 or budmanthe3rd@yahoo.com.
