Presented by Mike Lambert
Model Railroad Layout Design: A Mini World
Designing a model railroad layout is a blend of art and engineering, where creativity meets technical precision. It involves creating a miniature replica of a real or imagined railroad within the confines of your available space.
October 19, 2024–S Scale Finescale Modeling

December 21, 2024–Christmas Party and Smoke Machine clinic
Presented by Blaine Holbrook
Generally, there are two main areas of use for a smoke generator. The first is in a locomotive. This type of generator is used to generate smoke to simulate the steam from a locomotive stack. The second is for scenic use. This could be a static steam roller, a building on fire, bonfire, anything that would produce smoke.
Christmas Party
In the spirit of the season, we would like everyone to bring a treat to share (dessert or meal-type food) and a wrapped gift for the Gift Exchange. It can be something funny or even practical that you no longer have need of. The gift should preferably be train-related but it doesn’t need to be. Let’s have some fun!
Charlie is back! If you have clinic ideas or wish to volunteer send an email to Charlie (see below) or 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.
