It’s Clinic Carnival time! Every December the WMRC holds a clinic carnival, featuring some of Winnipeg’s finest modellers who will share their skills and talents with you!
This year Rob Sarna will show you how to install a NixTrainz Decoder Buddy replacement board, a Soundtraxx decoder and speaker into an Atlas HO locomotive.
Larry Leavens will conduct a clinic on turnout control from two sides of the layout. Larry had a need to control a Tortoise switch machine from opposite sides of his layout. It is usually controlled by a double pole double throw (DTDP) toggle switch at a single location. Larry found a simple circuit that replaces the toggle switch with a push button that can be installed at multiple locations.
John Bate will hold a clinic on Arduino animation, all the cool things you can do with them.
Marvin Fetch will show you how a seasoned model railroader constructs a building.
Ian Plett will take you through the steps of weathering your models.
We are also holding our annual Christmas hot dog banquet at our December meeting. Feast on gourmet air fried hot dogs, chips, donuts and your favourite soda while our talented clinicians take you through the steps on how to improve your layout!
The fun starts on Friday, December 13 at 7:30PM in the Tank Room at the Charleswood Legion, 6003 Roblin Boulevard. There will still be a model and photo display this month. Pleas bring a tin for the bin to help support some of the less fortunate in our community. All donations will be forwarded to the Christmas Cheer Board.
