Members,

This is probably directed more towards the newer members, but it can 
apply to anyone.

I am sorry that I haven't been able to be at  the club for several 
sessions, as I was hoping to provide assistance to those that received 
some Christmas goodies and needed help setting up their new found equipment.

Are any of you interested in a couple hour clinic on basics, more 
advanced and advanced stuff and setting up and/or repairing new or 
existing equipment?

My thoughts were to discuss things from replacing wheel sets and 
couplers to basic programming of decoders.  What do you do when the 
trucks fall of  a car and you can't find the pin or screw that secured 
them.  All sorts of tricks I have learned in my many years of modeling.

Here is an example:

I recently was working with and 89' TOFC flat car.  It appeared to be 
warped.  I thought it contained a piece of flat steel that needed to be 
bent slighly to get the end down to the proper level.  Wrong.  The 
piece of metal was a cast type of metal and I completely snapped the 
entire car in half when trying to bend it.  .  Oh #@%&#@, now what to 
do.  Well, to make a long story short, it is repaired and will be back 
in service.  It will always have to carry a couple of trailers to hid 
part of the repair, but it should give good service.  These kinds of 
situations you learn from over time.

I can help you with any problem you may have encountered and we can 
figure out a repair or ???? what ever needs to be done.  We can 
discusss tools and parts you should start collectiing, ie, screws, 
drills, etc.  I can bring all sorts of examples.

Anyone interested in such a clinic.    Let me know.

You can reply directly to me at    lewis2 at earthlink.net    if you wish 
or just reply to this e-mail.

Dean
