Division Meeting Announcements

  • Division Meeting May 27th 2025, 7pm

    Missouri Model RR Museum Tour

    Bob Walz will be sharing some history on the Santa Fe in World War II. This clinic examines how the Santa Fe responded to the unprecedented challenges posed by World War II. The clinic describes the great increase in the number of military bases, and military production facilities served by the Santa Fe. It then examines the personnel, equipment and infrastructure challenges and the Santa Fe response. Finally, it looks at the Santa Fe response in terms of passenger, freight and military train operations. It concludes that the Santa Fe helped win World War II by providing timely transportation services to a greatly expanded customer base. History is one of the most fascinating parts of our hobby and always helps us when replicating in our modeled empires. Can’t wait to hear this one.

    Clinic: Show & Tell

    It’s your opportunity to share your latest project. Doesn’t matter if it’s finished or not or if you have a question on how to move forward it’s a great chance to ask. Let’s have fun and see what’s being created in our Division!

    Clinic: Diesel Upgrade

    Dale Phetteplace will discuss how to repower a Life-Like Proto 2000 GP-7’s and GP-9’s for better performance and reliability. He will show the parts you need and don’t need to make a much better locomotive than the original. I’m sure this process will also help across other locos in our Engine Shed.

    Clinic: Creating Water Effects

    Clinic: Creating Water Effects
    Marc Sisk will walk you through six easy steps to create a very realistic river or lake on your layout. Marc will use a cutaway prop for each step showing how to form your river or lakebed, through the pouring of your water and shaping. Marc uses Envirotex Lite to create his water effects. Use of all materials will be presented along with tips on materials and sources. The effects of water will enhance nearly all our layouts, so this tutorial is sure to be helpful to each of us and our home railroad empires!
