Young members increase Evergreen membership

 
To keep the model railroading hobby alive the club and the hobby in general needs to increase our
attraction for younger members and that we did this week with the addition to the crew is Alex Carl,
a 19 year old college student that wants to learn all aspects of the hobby. Member 37 if I remember correctly.
He was rusting track 30 minutes after joining!
 
Marvin had his 4 Northern Pacific EMD and GE 6 axle power units running on the Red line and that gave me this photo op to catch it in front of the station at Bakersville.
 
Alex brough in this Civil War era 4-4-0 as one of his locos and it looked right at home at the lumber mill.
 
Rod Huffman had his work equipment making the rounds and always he adds his sense of humor to
his stuff.
 
Doug used the cartoon Pogo to model the Altoona & Fort Mudge Railroad but we learned this week that this is the passenger colors for the railroad as well.
 
My junior assistant Will Windom was inspired to cut into the hillside behind Bakersville to make the
landings for the soon to be high tension towers to power the town with the evil electricity to make
things run.  The white area is plaster cloth to start the new hillsides. Stay tuned!
