Here's our line up for June and July. Come out to the club and visit. The July Clinic by Jim Shook should be interesting as we develop our rolling stock standards. Sad to say, our first try at having an invited speaker to talk on an historic railroad topic was a total bust. Although Steve Goen did a masterful job, and all attendees enjoyed both the talk and the informal discussion after the presentation, total attendance was nine people; one non-member and eight ARM members. Obviously we didn't make much financial progress on moving the Rock Island boxcar from Progress Rail to our property! Curiously, the Saturday work session was a similar bust, with the ARM board members and one other member coming out to help work on the layout. Some great progress was made with the bodies we did have, but we could sure accomplish a lot more if our members would take advantage of these opportunities.
