[Accrs-ho] ACCRS HO-scale Meeting Minutes - 03/07/25

[Wayne Toigo]

ACCRS HO Members,

Here are the minutes from this month's HO business meeting.

Goodguys Show
Our next show is the Goodguys on Saturday, March 29 and Sunday, March 30. Signups have been finalized and the counts sent in. Expect to hear from Gary Lewis about admission and parking pass distribution later this month.

Replacement monitors
The two new monitors near the main Dispatch panel have been installed and are working. The remotes are in the Cab 1 drawer (left side). There are two remotes, one for each monitor. Please leave them in the drawer after use. (We're also researching tethering the remotes.)

Either remote will turn on both monitors; just press the power button once. If the settings for one of the monitors need to be adjusted, for the remote for that monitor. (I'll label the remotes the next time I get to the club.)

Monitor #4 (near the Passenger panel) is starting to act up and will probably need to be replaced soon.

DCC Improvements
I've acquired a few new ProbCab controllers and some cables. These will be rotated into our stock so that we can send the older units in for refurbishment. We approved the purchase of some additional DCC Boosters and another Command Station, however most suppliers are currently out of stock. One supplier told me that NCE may be redesigning them and so they aren't manufacturing right now. (Not sure if that's actually true.) I'll keep you posted.

General Cleanup
We had another discussion of cleanup under the layout. We have a dumpster available for a short period to aid us in our cleanup. However, everyone is expected to do their part in this effort. So far, we've only had a few participants. Please utilize Fridays to continue the cleanup under the layout.

That's all for this month. See you next time.

-Wayne
ACCRS HO Assistant Trainmaster
