| CLINIC: Artistic Principles to Tell Your Model Railroad’s Story | ||
| DAY: Friday | TIME: 1:30–2:30pm |
ROOM: Radnor |
| DESCRIPTION: Profusely illustrated description of how to use artistic principles to tell your model railroad’s story. We will cover four steps in design, design basics, and seven principles of design. The seven design principles covered are balance, unity, contrast, emphasis, movement, repetition, and rhythm. Puzzled? Attend this clinic and you will be puzzled no more. My intended audience is anyone owning a layout in any scale or anyone contemplating building a layout. | ||

About the Clinician... Nick’s love of railroading started in 1958 when New York’s Daily News published his photograph with Manhattan’s last operating trolley. At age nine, a Lionel set under the Christmas Tree followed. Residing in Virginia, he has earned three NMRA AP awards; delivered clinics; attended two NMRA and one narrow gauge national convention, and served as his division’s layout tour coordinator. Railroad Model Craftsman’s September 2007 front cover featured Nick’s LIRR Lower Montauk Branch. Later, a Narrow Gauge Downunder cover featured Nick’s current project, his Fn3 Oahu Sugar Company. His HO Sunnyside Yard was the first of three layouts he has opened for his division. His byline has appeared in the PRRT&HS Keystone, NMRA Magazine, MER Local, and Potomac Flyer. |
