18 Future plans for the railroad Include a harbour. Dave has built several boats to go into that section when completed. As many of you know, your editor has a fondness for boats, and the laker shown is similar to one his grandfather worked on in the 30s and, although shorter, similar to one he worked on in the 60s. This style of Great Lakes vessel, boat in Lakes terminology, is know as a Canaler. The were built short enough to go through the old Welland Canal and St. Lawrence River locks.they were common until the new Seaway opened in 1959 when they were quickly phased out as being uneconomical to operate. The other vessel in the photos is a river style car float.

19 Make and Take Clinic on March 10 The clinic will be held at Olivet College in Room 103 Mott Hall at 1:00 pm (same room we typically meet in). We will be building an old style flat car in anticipation of using it for one of the 4 scratch built cars required for the Motive Power Master Building AP Certificate. I have had 8 people reserve a spot for the clinic and I will have enough stuff to construct 12 cars. Any of the 4 spots that are not spoken for as of the day of the clinic will go by draw for any walk-ins. I will provide: Lumber Plans and instructions Paint Trucks (10 pair anyway I found a good deal from Tichy on archbar trucks I am short 2 pair to make 12. If anyone has an extra they can use please bring them.) Stirrup steps Bolsters and screws Turnbuckles and truss rod material Stake pockets I will not have any Kadee couplers but will have screws to attach them please bring a pair with pockets.

20 I will have tools available to be borrowed, but if you have any of the following, you might want to bring them so they don t have to be shared. Suggested tools: #11 X-Acto knife, single edged razor blades, chopper Scissors (for opening packets and cutting out plans Magnetic gluing board, or a small piece (10 x 5 ) insulation foam 1 thick 1 or 2 pair(s) fine jewelers forceps (tweezers) Sprue cutters wire cutters or rail nippers Red (or brown) and black bottles of craft paint (flat) AC cement, accelerator and debonder white or carpenter s glue (small bottle) toothpick (glue applicator) Emery board and small files Optivisor Straight edge (HO scale rule) & small machinist s squares Pin vise, drill(or thereabouts for truss rods and stirrup steps) and a #53 drill for the screws for trucks and couplers (I will have a pin vise available that will hold a #53) Digital caliper If you don t want to try the project, or only wish to observe, I am planning to run train related DVDs on the projector in the room, so all are welcome. I look forward to seeing you all on the 10 th. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me at tdavis@msu.edu.

21 From the Yard Office Hello fellow model railroaders. Hope you are keeping busy with model railroad related activities! I am definitely keeping it at a good fast pace. Wish it helped reduce the pounds and strengthen the muscles but at least I am having a lot of fun. My friends and I are keeping busy working on the transition from the Protrak program to a new Car Card/Waybill system. I will have more info on the in the next Journal. Your Convention Committee is staying hard at work preparing for the October convention. That really is not that far away and we will be contacting each of our members to see what they are willing to take on to make this a great convention for everyone in the Region to enjoy. Over the next few months as we start getting closer to the convention date, we will be signing our members up to participate in the presentation of the convention. It will take the majority of our members to take a part in this so we will have a successful first class program for all to enjoy. So be ready to sign up to take your part when we contact you!! Our next Convention Planning meeting will be March 12th at 7:00PM at the Meridian Twp Fire Dept location that we are now using for our monthly Division meetings. Please give some thought to getting involved and join us at this meeting. We will really appreciate your participation and help. This month we will be enjoying another fun clinic that Terry Davis will be presenting. It will again be at Olivet College as it had been in the past and Terry has been working on another great clinic for us to partake in. Please see additional info elsewhere in this Journal. Since we will be travelling all the way to Olivet, and I don t want us to rush Terry s presentation or short change the time we will have to work on our project, we decided that for this month it would be best not to have a layout tour. I just don t think there is enough time to make it work and be fair to all concerned. I have not heard from anyone with any thoughts on what they would like to see us do for our special summer activity this year. So, I am looking at setting up another layout tour down towards the Northville and Livonia area. I will be making contact with the layout owners and come up with a date that will satisfy both them and us. I will give you additional info in the future. In April, we will be holding our monthly event at my place and we will be having at least 2 clinics that all can attend. Bill Neale, MMR will be presenting a clinic that we hope to make hands on for everyone to participate in, all about weathering freight cars. For the second clinic, I will be demonstrating scenicking a freight yard area with tracks, ballast, dirt and weeds, etc., using materials and tools that I have discovered through my process of scenicking the Nashville. Those that would like to try applying these various materials will be able to practice. You will see that it is pretty hard to mess these things up to the point that you can t save them!! Hope to see you all on Saturday. Best, Andy Keeney
