    Bruce DeMaeyer

    Working on my Railroad

    This clinic will help the layout builder determine an effective choice of the important elements that the builder needs to make his layout a success. This model has been used on two large layouts.

     

    Bob Frankone

    Love Those Loads

    Open loads that can by built from

    commercially available models or easily scratch built. Consistent with Bob's articles in the NMRA magazine.

    (We can keep

    this as a spare as we might have enough now).

    Bob Frankone

    How to Add a Scene to a Layout in 15 Easy Steps

    How to create a nice looking scene, regardless of one's skill level.

     

    Jerry Severson

    How the RB and B&B

    Circus moved to 130 Cities in the 1920's

    How the Ringling Brothers and

    Barnum & Baily Circus moved huge numbers of people, horses and wagons, etc. without telephones and computers.

     

    Otto Vondrak

    The Impact of Allen

    McClelland's Virginian & Ohio

    One of the great layouts of all time, not just in the Dayton area.

     

    John Larsen

    Intermodals: How We

    Got Here, Both Prototype and Model

    Reports by an expert in the business, not only prototype but also models.

     

    Alex Heckman

    Highlights and Exhibits of

    Carillon Park

    This is a must for not only model

    railroaders but also family members! Dayton's industrial, rail history and otherwise.

    Using an Arduino in

    Model Railroading

    Arduino, which is a microprocessor/computer, can be used on a model railroad for occupancy detection, signal sebng and controlling additional electronic elements. The points of the presentation are illustrated in a 4 foot working diorama using and Arduino and DCC locomotive control.

     

    C. E. Johnson

    The Charles F. Kettering Research Lab: Ridgeleigh Terrace to Yellow Springs & Beyond

    A report on one of the greats in

    Dayton's history. Charles Kettering’s contributions to the automotive industry and railroad locomotives is astounding.

     

    Giles Kennedy

    Operation Lifesaver, plus

    Railroad safety, and the simple joy of trains.

    Industry

    How the sugar beet industry

    functioned, particularly in the western states, and how it can be modeled.

    Sam Swanson

    Warped Modeling

    Creating weatherbeaten wood

    structures with cardboard; modeling approaches developed decades ago. So in a high-tech modeling world, what innovative modeling can you do with these very basic materials today? A variety of technique-based examples presented in this clinic will cover using these materials alone, and along with and in place of traditional basswood and styrene components.

    (probably two)

    Sam Swanson

    Prototype Photos and the Models That Followed

    A lone prototype photo can serve as the basis for modeling structures, rolling stock, details and sometimes entire scenes. This clinic presents twenty prototype photos and a variety of HO and O Scale models that were built from them. In addition to mockup and construction techniques, painting and weathering approaches will be described for a full account of how each model was developed and completed.

    Building a Brick Engine

    Shed from Cardboard, Paper & Sticks

    Needing an engine shed in a very

    confined space, I designed and built an engine shed from scratch, rather than kit bash an existing kit. I decided to try building the structure from card stock, and employing various surface laminations to simulate the stone foundation, brick walls and roof shingles.

    Growing Up with the

    Virginian &Ohio

    What it was like being with one of

    the great model railroads!

     

    Dave Oroszi

    Noted Historian Dave

    Oroszi on Dayton Rail History

    This will be a short overview of the

    railroads of Dayton, Ohio. This will include a look at the various Union Statiions, the building of the overhead downtown, and pictures of the major railroads PRR, NYC, B&O, DT&I and Amtrak.

    Re: Pan Pastels

    This clinic shows the many uses for

    Pan Pastels. Besides weathering, they can be used as paint for detail castings, coloring stone and brick, weathering metal roofs and siding, staining wood, coloring track and landscaping, and applying stencil lettering.
