January 21, 2025–PanPastels
Presented by Lowell Didas
PanPastels are actually quite popular among model train enthusiasts for weathering their models. Weathering is the process of adding realistic wear and tear to model trains to make them look more authentic. Here are some ways PanPastels are used in model train weathering.
February 15, 2025–A Different Kind of Turnout Control
Presented by Geoff Carter
A model railroad turnout, also known as a switch, is a movable track section that allows trains to change direction without stopping. Turnouts are often the places where modelers have trouble. Trains should be able to go through them equally well in both directions. What new/different method will Geoff present us? Attend the meeting and find out!

June 21, 2025–NO MEETING
Stadler Open House and Train Show in June
Charlie is not at full health. If you have clinic ideas or wish to volunteer send an email to Jim at jamestowntrains@gmail.com
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.
