Our November SMD membership meeting will be held on Sunday, 12 November, starting at 2:00 PM. For this meeting we will be making a return visit to Steve King’s “N” scale Virginia Midland railroad. Steve’s railroad recalls both the N&W and the Virginian Railroads, featuring heavy coal operations in the mountains of Southwest Virginia and surrounding areas.
Steve resides in Fayetteville, PA (yes – that is two houses down the street from Don Florwick’s home, whom we visited in September.). Please email the Division leadership at southmountaindiv@gmail.com for his street address.
Grant Harrison will be presenting a clinic on the lighter side of railroading (traction/trolleys) that addresses both prototype and modeling considerations. This topic couples nicely with the Division’s visit to the Trolley museum in Rock Hill this past summer.
Reminder, SMD membership meetings are always the 2nd Sunday of the month at 2PM. The only exceptions are for April, when the Mini-Con replaces our business meeting, and in May, which will take place one week later, on the 3rd Sunday.
