DAY:  Friday TIME:  8:00–9:00am
ROOM:  Wayne

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. 

 

CLINIC:  Building Babyface Baldwins
DAY:  Friday TIME:  11:00am–12:00pm ROOM:  Wayne
DESCRIPTION:  The Anthracite Railroads Historical Society has offered A and B unit shells. My clinic is on the variations of the prototype engines as well as how I built and detailed them using the ARHS shells as a starting point.  For powering, I've used Proto 2000 Alco FA-2 drives as well as Broadway Limited Shark drives.

 

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.
