[Accrs-ho] Do You Need Help - Follow=up

[ACCRS HO Scale]

Members,

I will do some seminars, perhaps during the Friday night meetings and/or 
scheduled for a weekend date.  I have heard from a couple of you that 
you are interested.  I would like you to do the following.

Make a list of things, items or processes that you would like to know 
about or even work on.  If I was to show up and you wanted to talk about 
say "couplers" I would want to bring stuff to work with and or discuss. 
   I would need to know that was something you wanted to discuss. Or 
maybe it was "what tools do I need", etc.

It could be any topic, but I would like to know what you are interested 
in covering so I can bring the necessary materials to show you and 
discuss how to use them or fix them or ????

Send me you requests.    You can send direct to  lewis2 at earthlink.net    
if you prefer.

Dean.
