January Meeting
This month's program . . .Some History you can use ...
"Six Decades of Model Railroading"
Al McClelland has been learning and passing along what he has learned for a long time. Here's a chance to have him boil down a lot of his tips and tricks. He will use the history of the hobby as his background to give us a great presentation with a lot of humor and fun.
The photo at left was dug out of Al's archives and brings back a little history of Division 3. Taken during the early 60's it shows that we met in the old Dayton Union Station waiting room. We made some good friends in the station personnel who, later, would give us a meeting room and once even spotted a Pullman car on one of the parking tracks for our meeting. How many times did you go up or down the steps to old track 3 (or 1 to 6, for that matter)? And no metal detectors!
Sunday, January 18th 2 PM
Chapel 3
At this meeting we'll also have more of our batch of K-D couplers at $1 a pack and another Silent Auction full of new products from the Division 3 company store.
The usual suspects
A good time
was had by all, as is evidenced by all these smiling faces. The Annual Christmas Party, held on December 20 at the Greene County Historical Society in Xenia, was a roaring success. If you missed this one, start planning for next year now. Plenty of good food and good fellowship.
We've got Trains!
Thanks to a generous donation from Steve Trout, who is leaving the hobby, Division 3 has a large stock of new models and modeling materials in our inventory. Okay, the photo is probably an exaggeration, but there is a LOT of stuff. We will be distributing this largess through the Company Store, our monthly raffles, and occasional silent auctions. If you miss a meeting, you just might miss a great deal. (How about Kadee #5's at a buck a bag?)
