Until then, remember: It’s your club - get involved! (Become a convention volunteer!) Let’s play trains!

As we are getting closer to Smokey Mountain Rails, several people and committees have things really
rolling well, although we can still use an extra hand here and there. The Pre-Registration event
should be on the website by the time you receive this issue. There will be an operating session with
the LOST RR at the fair grounds on Thursday night. We already have several people that have signed
up any of you that would like are of course welcome and would be appreciated to work with guide some
of the visitors on the layout. It should really be a great chance to get to know other modelers.
The group from Lake Junaluska are starting to roll down the track on their reassembled layout at the
Terrace Inn. Kent Roberts, Bill Seibert and I met with them on the 11th of January to help prioritize
their needs for the layout which is starting with electrical. Kent helped them with soldering techniques
using resistance soldering. They are now running a bus line for one track, replacing some track and
moving along.
Bill Seibert and I met with the Haywood County Tourism Development Authority that was very responsive
to help getting the word out for the convention and train show. They also are going to furnish for the
convention attendees several brochures, maps and listing of local restaurants that will be in a tote
bag donated by the Haywood Electric Membership Corp.
Northeast Steam Tourist Trains slide show will be our program at the Feb 7th meeting by Gordon Fewster.
Also there will be awards presented to several members.
Keep on the track.
