John Rogers will direct us in the art of built-in-place turnouts. We will have
a hands-on clinic where we will all build our own switch of a scale and configuration
of our choice. This will be a value added clinic and as such there will have a charge
to attend. We will provide all needed materials and you will only need to bring your
favorite tools. This should be a great opportunity for those of us who want to try
hand-laying track to test the water.
We will set the fee and have complete details soon. But if you wish, call or email
to hold your chair. We expect to limit the class to ten.
Most clinics begin at 7:30, will break at mid point for coffee and doughnuts
and continue with the final part of the clinic at which time questions will be taken.
There is no charge for most clinics, the exception being when you are provided tools
and/or materials to create a take-home project. Please try to be prompt.
A great time was had by all during our Building Craftsman Structures clinic
on May 20 at the Bridge Club next door to the store. Karl Sholtz and Rich
Newmiller inspired a room full of enthusiasts on building and enhancing craftsman
structures. Attendees went home with a more-or-less finished kit and all seemed proud
of the result.
The models made by Karl and Rich for the clinic— same model,
two very different results.
Handouts continue to be popular at our clinics. For those of you who could not
attend, or just missed the handout presented, we offer a comprehensive listing below.
