Pacific Northwest On30 Organizational Meet

[gmhtrains]

A meeting only for On30 modelers will take place June 4, 2011, at the Columbia Gorge Model Railroad Club in Portland, OR. Hours are 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and admission is free. Attendees are invited to bring one or two examples of their models. Other activities may include up to three clinics by Oregon O scale structure manufacturers, a display of On30 modules from Washington and California clubs, and discussion on future gatherings. For more information contact Gil Hulin, ghulin@earthlink.net.

Just a reminder that the On30 meet June 4 in Portland, Oregon, is just two weeks away. While the Seattle-based PNW On30 Modular group will have samples of their modules on display, the meeting is not only for modelers who want to build portable display layouts. Perhaps some of you just want a social club where you can compare or seek help on your latest scratchbuilding or kit-bashing projects. This gathering for On30 modelers in Oregon and Southwest Washington has no pre-determined goal other than to allow like-minded individuals to meet one another. Bill Roy (McKenzie Iron & Steel) will present a clinic, and everyone attending is invited to bring a model or two for "show and tell." Time and place are in the original announcement. For more details, email ghulin@earthlink.net.

Want to be part of a large On30 modular layout at the 2012 National Narrow Gauge Convention in Bellevue, Washington?  The June 4 organizational meeting at Portland, Oregon, is first step in introducing Oregon and Southwest Washington On30 modelers to the standards developed in the Seattle area over the past year. Key members of the PNW-On30-Modules Yahoo Group will be in Portland Saturday with sample modules and to answer questions. The June 4 meeting will also include three vendors: McKenzie Iron & Steel, Sidetrack Laser and RS Laser Kits.
