| CLINIC: AP Master Modeler - Motive Power: You Can Do It | ||
| DAY: Friday | TIME: 9:30–10:30am |
ROOM: Wayne |
| DESCRIPTION: You don’t have to scratchbuild a steam locomotive in brass to complete this category. There are other ways to scratchbuild a locomotive. What is a locomotive? Just something that is powered and runs on rails. I’ll show you examples of scratchbuilt motive power that are made from styrene and wood. | ||

About the Clinician... I’ve been a model railroader for as long as I can remember. My first HO set was one bought for a little money and a bunch of Kix box tops (I still have it) back in the 1950s. I graduated to a Mantua 0-4-0 and a couple of freight cars on a 4x6 piece of plywood in our cellar. I now model the Central Railroad of New Jersey in 1953. I’ve been publishing articles in Model Railroader, Railroad Model Craftsman, Railmodel Journal, and the NMRA Magazine since 1985. I have completed five of seven categories toward my NMRA Master Model Railroader: Author, Volunteer, Motive Power, Cars, and Structures. I currently serve as the MER contest chair as well as the superintendent of the Susquehanna Division. |
