If you’re not too busy attending the PNR convention in Eugene this weekend, (or even if you are!), join us for May’s virtual layout tour Zoom at 10am on Saturday, May 14. Keith Jordan will take us on a tour of his famous HO scale shelf layout, the “Patch,” which features the industrial switching of downtown Los Angeles by the Santa Fe, with a number of scratchbuilt structures and other interesting features. The layout is well known, having been covered in recent issues of Model Railroad Planning and Great Model Railroads.

As usual, we’ll open the meeting at 9:30am and start the program at 10am. Here is the Zoom info for joining the meeting:

Join the 4DPRR for our March 2021 Zoom layout tours on Saturday March 13 at 10:00am. This month will feature Clint Brown and John Wilcox.

Clint Brown’s HO scale Texas and Great Northern Railroad is in a 3 car garage featuring lots of action around fabled Tower 55 in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas.  Clint’s railroad features interchange in a central yard for 4 different railroads.  Clint mixes a good description of the prototype with how he has modeled the area.  Its something completely different than our northwest experience and Clint is glad to share his southern drawl and description of railroading in Texas (from Lacey Washington!)

The second presentation on Saturday March 13 will feature the On30 modelling work of John Wilcox.  His layout in a one car garage is completely sceniced with logging, mining and waterfront scenes typical of the northwest.  His diorama work (separate from the railroad) showing railroad structures and typical back woods locations such as stores, repair garages and other buildings add to the presentation.
