For the February meeting we wil gather to hear from Division member Charlie Newton on Friday night February 22nd. Charlie will be giving a presentation based on the G&W as it was in the 1984 era, (before the massive assimilation of short lines). It would be about a real railroad to model as a shelf model railroad, Alcos, salt, and the first expansion to Mount Morris, NY. Although not a 'real' G&W modeler, Charlie will show the prototype landscape and structures and equipment photos and a map of the line from the 1984 era and will have a model layout drawing to offer to the membership

The October meeting will be on Friday night, October 18th from 7 pm until 9 pm at the Malta Community Center.
The meeting will be a "Show and Tell" on freight car weathering. Looking for members to bring their weathered rolling stock and be available to give a brief talk/slide/demo to the group on the techniques they have used to weather their rolling stock. We will supply some undecorated 50' boxcar shells for members to take home and try out weathering on. This will not be a hands on clinic at this time mainly a "Show and Tell". I will be sending out an email and asking members to respond to me if they will be attending and bringing some of the weathering efforts to share with the group.
***** We will also be holding a raffle to benefit our Toys For Tots Fund *****
