Clinics are a big part of any Convention, and this will be no exception. More than 45 rail
clinics will be scheduled from Thursday afternoon through Saturday afternoon. Most will
be offered more than once. In addition to “traditional” classroom style we will offer
several “hands-on” clinics for you to make and take a model.
If you would like to present a clinic please contact our Clinic Chairman, Bill Brown, MMR by clicking this link to send him an email at larcproducts@yahoo.com
Modeling With A Master
Jack Ellis of Bar Mills
Scale Model Works will present a three-hour hands-on clinic. Participants
will construct, finish and weather two walls of a Bar Mills kit under Jack’s
tutelage. You will take home the kit to finish on your own, along with several
samples of weathering powder and a container of Jack’s own mix of stain. The
session is limited to 15
participants at an extra fare of only $10.00.
Digital University
Parts 1, 2 & 3 Erich Whitney & Kaylee Zheng will conduct a session Thursday
September 19, 2:00 – 5:00 PM. Participants must commit to bringing a computer
and two locomotives to the clinic. They will download the latest version of
JMRI, and receive instruction on the many possibilities it affords for decoder
programming and layout control. Utilizing the skills they have learned, they
will speed-match their two locomotives and adjust several CV's to enhance locomotive performance. Registration is limited to 10 members at an extra fare of $10.00. Don’t miss this one!
Parts 4, 5 & 6 Thursday evening 7:00 – 11:00
PM, Tom Nelson will offer a session
on LCC (Layout Command Control), and Chuck Diljak, will cover
