Ditto on the great meeting. The Notes are in prep, and will be sent out to all on our contact list shortly. I would LIKE to
(a) set up a train show, probably for August-September at Bertha's/ Kirtland
(b) fund hosts for May- June- July- I want to visit a "traditional" O Gauge setup, using tubular track, conventional control and lots of accessories.
There are MANY ways to enjoy three-rail trains:
- Traditional, toy train type, conventional transformer control, either prewar or postwar
- Tinplate
- post- MPC era- Digital Control, mix of steam and diesel
- modern- all digital control
- Blend
Eras:
- prewar"- depression, or even 19th century "The General" type trains
- "Transition"- set in as era 1945 - 1959, weathered equipment and buildings
- "Modern" - big curves, full 1:48 equipment, mostly diesels, modern buildings
They are all interesting, and fun!!! And explore all skill-sets.
Skills: Wiring, weathering, painting, repairing, layout design, benchwork, adding and upgrading. There seems to be no end to it.
We want to explore ALL.
