About the event
February Program Meeting
We'll be meeting at the Dublin Branch of the Columbus Metro Library
Two discussion topics for February!
NMRA Achievement Program.
In addition to having the Division Chairman (Jim Kehn) and new Regional Chairman (Dick Briggs) there to answer your questions on the Achievement Program, we'll be joined by National Chairman (Ray Persing) with updates and improvements on the AP. Bring your questions on merit awards, achievement certificates, and Master Model Railroader for this very experienced panel.
Dick Argo will present a clinic on building an appropriate transition-era fright car fleet based on his research of the C&O.
If you model the steam to diesel era (1940s thru 50s), what does your freight car roster look like? This discussion may help you develop a roster compatible with that time period.
The Bring 'n Brag item will be Steam Locomotive

Doors open a 1 pm and formal discussion start at 1:30 pm
