Club News March 2011

THE SPRAY BOOTH IS OPEN! THE SPRAY BOOTH IS OPEN!
After months since its completion, Jerry has finally painted a club model which was the grain tower that will be going
into the harbor area. I said I would not start it when all my attention was needed on the mountain. Well..........................

Terry Frank was up on the layout to install the first piece of the new bridge! Chuck H brought in the bents and the top section
for fitting and size down to the club tonight so it won't be long now.


The Blue Crew included Don and Allan who worked on the turntable alignments now that we have the infra-red sensors working.
Rick was giving them encouragement or flak, I'm not sure.


Just to show our train club is international in nature, here is the proof. Allan lined up his Canadian Pacific, Canadian National and Canmore Mines locos for a group shot in the Blue main yard. Allan didn't own an HO model some 3 months ago but he now has a pretty good start. He has a fantastic N scale layout at home but now he has an HO scale home at our club.

Bakersville

Bakersville takes on new industries that serve the produce industry in the area.

Big Rock Mountain




Walking into the door shows a dramatic Basalt mountain that has all three rail lines having to get through it. Real Basalt rock was used to match the color and debris from it was used for talus.
More trees and brush will fill mountaintop.

New HO model railroad club



The green awning will work well when we add our club name. We are in the process of remodeling
the front of our club location.
