Subject: My visit to Florida in june



Hello all,

it's only a couple of weeks away, when I will return to the US and to Florida.

And because I'm a friend of the owners of H+R Trains in Pinellas Park, FL, I'll held again a class in their store.

This time - june 16, 07.00 - 09.00 pm, I will report about my 3" scale Speeder, I built 2002/2003 for the Train Mountain Triennial. This will be a PowerPoint Presentation with a projector and will show photos from the construction as well as from the different railroads, I operated the Speeder in 2003 in the US.

I'll try to share my experiences and enjoyment during the construction and the trip.

Also, their will be some time remaining to chat and perhaps to show some other photos of my modelling.

All of you, who live in the area, are invited to join the class.

See http://www.hrtrains.com and http://www.hrtrains.com/calendar.html for more information in the next time.

The next morning after the class I'll fly over to Los Angeles and from their I'll travel up northward for the Train Mountain Triennial 2006.

See you in Florida or at Train Mountain.

Hubert from Germany

I have added 5 pics from my april visit to the RR. Look for the SANDY RIDGE AND CLEAR LAKE RY photo album in the Photos section of the group list. I see the posting of pics there doesn't give you an option to post a link. try this below for the home page.

This group doesn't allow attachments to its messages (to prevent the spread of viruses) so nobody knows what your picture is.

Can you please post a link to it?

*To All:

I have just posted pixs from last weekends SVLS Spring Meet. The weather Saturday was superb and many were there to run their trains. As you will see from the pixs, there all sorts of trains on hand. SVLS is by far one of the nicest clubs that I have been too. I highly recommend checking their track out, very interesting.

See these pixs and more at "Live Steaming In The Pacific Northwest" http://www.sscom.org/pnwls.html

Enjoy!

If there is still time I'd like to change the title to

"Bigger Is Better - From On3 to 2.5"/foot".
"The talk will be about our efforts to make accurately detailed outdoor models that work. Locomotives, cars, track work and bridges.
Included will be mention of sources of supply and what we've learned along the way."

Hi Peter

Sounds great, I think that would be of interest to a lot of people. Greg Robinson would like a title and a sentences or two explaining the talk for the handout he is putting together. A picture of you two would be nice too. You can send it to greg or me . As far as AV equipment goes we did not have anything last time but let me do some checking and see what we can come up with. I could use it too.

Thanks Tom

Hope to see all at TM this coming week, hear we may need snow plows for our engines tho.
Hey if you don't like it don't read it, just delete it, I think that its quite a tribute to those people and with memorial day coming up it kind of fits.
Lets all have a nice day and railroad together.
