April through October gives the club members the chance to get some major progress done on their modules. October is always a big slapsh for us at the Great Scale Model Train Show (www.gsmts.com). There are a couple of members in the club that are like sharks.....if they stopped modeling(swimming), they would die!

Modular railroading at its best!
If it has an X in it, it sucks! And yes, I just had my modeler's license renewed last week!

Take off model railroading just because it's Summer. NO WAY!

Why would you want to do that?! I never have and never will.

Heh. Up here in Sacramento we consider taking off our wool sweaters when the themometer hits 105.

It was 99 degrees today--so I was out in the garage doing benchwork. I now have 16 feet of shelf upon which to lay out my layout.
