Theme of the Month
The Theme of the Month is one of our participation activities at each month’s meeting. The theme is selected by our Director of Operations and is usually intended to be something most everybody can participate in. It is normally a model of motive power, rolling stock or structures. It doesn’t require any modeling skill to participate. You can bring something right out of the box! The goal is to get everyone to join in and discuss what they brought.
In conjunction with the Theme of the Month, an opportunity is provided for Show and Tell. Bring in any railroad related model and show everyone what you’ve been working on.
Question and Answer Forum
Are you having a model railroading problem? Bring your questions to the monthly meeting. One of our many knowledgeable members may have just the right answer or that idea you are looking for! And you don't have to be a member to participate in the forum. It is open to members and visitors alike.
