Membership Meeting (3 Layout Tours Schoolcraft Area)

Local Layout Tours in November
Our program for November is to visit three of our best local area layouts.
•
Our first stop at 9:30 AM is at Rick Garthe’s layout, located at 6737 TEXAS DR. Rick has a multi-scale HO and Lionel layout that is battery operated with wide aisles. (Note: this is a schedule change as Jim Fankhauser had a conflict in his schedule)
•
Our next stop at approximately 10:30AM is at Greg Stonerock’s located at 9344 S 8TH ST. Greg models the Duluth, Missabi & Iron Range, MN. in HO scale.
•
Our final stop on the tour at approximately 11:30 AM is at Bill Nichol’s layout located at 5746 West VW Ave, Schoolcraft, MI, (west of Schoolcraft on VW, off of 131). Kevin Kizer & Sheila Nichols will be our hosts when we tour Bill’s Boston & Maine layout. This is rather large layout, that is signaled controlled by the Dispatcher’s Desk. Operators must call into the Dispatcher for permission to move.
Each of these layouts is unique and interesting and will make for an enjoyable Saturday morning.
All layouts have plenty of parking spaces and are relatively close to one another.
Both Rick and Greg layouts are handicap accessible.
Thanks to Rick Garthe for taking Jim Fankhauser’s place on the schedule.
