Mike Slater, our new Division Superintendent (and a very good modeler) wants to try something new for our first meeting of the 2019-2020 season.  He has gone to other RPM meets and wants to try out the concept here.  As of now I know nothing about presenters or topics but will try to find out what I can.

As Dave mentioned this is our Divisions first RPM meet, Currently I have two confirmed Slots for clinics, talking to another gentelman tonight so hopefully we will have 3 slots filled, and worse case I have a clinic I can use to fill the 4th slot.  We also have some door prizes and will have a gentelmann that will be doing an all day presentation on weathering.  Our RPM meet will be free to the public, The size of the rpm meet will not be large like St Loius or Chicago this year but we have to start some where.

 

I will be posting a list of current clincs this week on our Division Facebook page

Thanks Jim, and others, for bringing this in the open.  I'll be home that Saturday, I'll have to check this out.

And thank you Mike Slater!

This week I will be anouncing our clinics and demo's at the RPM meet that will be held on the 21'st of this month, First I would like to anounce Fred Firkus will be doing a weathering clinic.  Fred models between the 1980's to the 2000's and will explaine how to weather on both locomotives and rolling stock

The next Clinic I would like to announce is a clinic by Jim Rindt. Jim will be discussing his involvement with the display that is located in a replica of the C&NW Standard No. 3 Depot in the Village of Zachow Wisconsin. This N scale display is a uncompressed model of the village as it was before WW2. This will be an interesting look at a fine display from one of the craftsman that built the display.

Sorry for the delay of posting our third clinic...... Starting Operations on your Model Railroad, this clinic will be presented by Al Kempf.

 

Our Final clinic will be presentrd by Keith Kohlmann. Keith will do a clinic on how to photograph your models outside. This should be a very interesting clinic.
