Central
Arizona Chapter
July Minutes
The July meeting was held
at
Buddy's Grill, then adjourned to the
home of Tim and Karen Johnson.
Present at
the meeting were Bob Rebsamen, John Leipsic, Tim
and Karen
Johnson.
John mentioned purchasing items for his personal layout from Ed Larsen
of Flagstaff. John is in the process of building a layout room attached
to a larger living quarters. He's very excited about the possibilities
for his new layout now in the planning stage. John also has the
materials now for finishing the scenery on the corner module he has. He
mentioned planning a small village for it.
Bob will be checking into what we need to do for the October Rail Fair
at the McCormick-Stillman
Railroad Park held on the 12th
and 13th
this year. We'd like to have for finished scenery on the modules for
this event.
Later, at the Johnson home, John showed his new Märklin
digital starter set. Very cool. We also looked over the catenary items
given to our chapter by Kent Taylor. We spent some time looking over
the Johnson layout, and ran a couple of trains, now that a problematic
turnout is usable (though not yet working properly) again.
The
next meeting will be held on August 10th in
the Phoenix area. Time and place yet to be determined.
Respectfully submitted,
Tim Johnson, Secretary
