This is a two-part presentation. The first part is a photo contest. Send your photos and tips/techniques by 3/14 to cindy.nud.nmra@gmail.com. Be sure to include the following: Layout information including period, line, scale, scene. Etc. The layout owner (if different from the photographer). Photographer. Type of camera and effects used.
At the meeting, we will have a PowerPoint with all submissions. There will be voting and prizes! Then we’ll have a brief demonstration utilizing some of the tips and techniques – let Cindy know if you would like to present.
We hope you get creative and try out various photography techniques. The goal is to have a lively presentation and discussion. There are so many fabulous layouts in our division, and this is the perfect opportunity to highlight them.

TBD, 2023–Making Old Trains Run Like New

Did you inherit some old rolling stock and engines from a friend or family? Geoff Carter will give us some tips and tricks to get those old trains running like new.
TBD–Multi Mini Clinics
We will be starting our multi mini-clinics. We will have one on using an air brush with Blaine Holbrook and two others going on simultaneously. Rotating every thirty minutes or so. Stay tuned for more information.
As the Clinic Coordinator I look at what this requires and realize we all can contribute to our clinics. I started with a sheet of plywood with my father back when I was a child and since then have done so much, especially in the last few years. We all have skills and experiences that we can share. Being retired from the Education profession also has shown me that what I have done in the past can help someone else looking for an answer. I will call upon all of you to share what you have learned, because we all have a love of trains.
