Central Arizona Chapter
October Minutes
The October meeting (not a business meeting) was held on the 11th and
12th at the McCormick Railroad Park Rail Fair event in Scottsdale. Thanks to C.J. Hanselman, Fred
Rayher, Bill Nagle, Jim
and Marge Poor, Bob Rebsamen, Andy O'Brien, Steve and Debi Young,
Tim and Karen Johnson, and Kent Taylor for work on the layouts and
overseeing the booth. We had new signage and name tags compliments of
Jim and Marge Poor.
We had three layouts represented. Our small, finished layout again
generated a lot of interest. C.J. brought a small layout under
construction. And for the first time, our modular layout was seen by
the public. The modules were the four corners that have been
constructed so far. No scenery yet, but we did have two trains running
on the double track main, along with a G scale train in a tight circle
in the center of the layout as a temporary attraction. We had HO and G
scales represented, and ran both AC and DC power.
It was a good opportunity for the community to meet us, and see
something different. We received many compliments from the public and
fellow model railroaders.
Our next meeting is at the home of Jim and Marge Poor on November 8 at 11 AM. Address to be announced later.
Respectfully submitted,
Tim Johnson, Secretary
