Cliff Green, Grab Iron Editor

Welcome, new 4th Division members! Every month I add new (or re-newed) 4D members to the Grab Iron subscriber list, so this may be one of the first Grab Iron posts that you read.

The 2015-2016 model railroading season is well under way and there will be many interesting and fun events – click here to see the 4D calendar. (On a side note I’m looking into ways that interested readers can subscribe to be notified whenever an event is added or updated. A quick “shout out” to Stephen Winter for requesting this functionality and a technical evaluation is under way.)

If you haven’t attended one of the many excellent clinics in this Division I highly recommend them – the presenters are skilled modelers and most of the clinics have at least one (if not more) MMR (Master Model Railroader) attending. More information on 4D clinics is available by clicking here.

The 4th Division is a volunteer organization. There are many ways to help out, no matter what your interests or skill levels or hobby experience – it’s all about your enthusiasm and available time. In particular, the Pacific Science Center Train Show is almost here (one week) and volunteers are still needed. Click here for additional PSC train show information including David Yadock’s contact info (he’s coordinating the volunteers).
