Brian... I didn't get a chance to try the demo I was thinking of over the weekend... have a projector from work tonight and will try. Back to you ASAP. I think my son may have a portable camera too... gotta check with him. I do believe this will be do-able!
Thanks,
Barry

Reposting the September latest News... as we have MORE GREAT information!!!

SEPTEMBER 2014
Hello! We’ve received yet another door prize from a new sponsor – a $50 gift certificate from Broadway Limited! And the good news continues as we have the Schuylkill & Lehigh Model RR club and the Reading Society of Model Engineers will both be joining us for layout tours on Friday! In fact, at the RSME you will see AND ride on their 15" gauge railroad (featuring some kerosene switch lamps and kerosene hand lanterns.), HO scale layout and O Scale 2 rail layout!! Night operations on the 15” gauge are rare!! We are honored!! YES, we are only a month away, so please get your registrations in. You CAN register at the door either Friday or Saturday, however, you will miss the chance to purchase an event t-shirt and a great lunch! Speaking of registrations, we’re about the same as this time last year. We’re really hoping for an increase and hope YOU will register for our event!
REMINDER!! – when you attend the shop tours of the Reading &
Northern RR on Sunday, you MUST wear solid shoes!
NO open toe shoes and long pants are also highly suggested!!
Safety first!!
I don’t know if we’ll get another website update before the MEET-II, so in case we don’t, I hope to see you in a few weeks!!
Barry Hensel, Chairman
Thanks,
Barry

I am very pleased to announce that Brian Wowak will be doing a clinic on weathering at the MEET-II!! And it will be a LIVE clinic! We'll use the webcam on my laptop to project his technique LIVE on the big screen, so all can see what and how he does this weathering.

This now FILLS the complete event schedule, as published and promised!
Hope to see YOU at the MEET-II!!
Thanks,
Barry

Add two more to that tally Barry, with models for display. I have convinced a friend of mine and veteran modeler to bring his scratchbuilt K-1's, that were built 30 years ago, and a few AS-16's since Ron will be presenting, as his seminar was awesome last year!

OR register Saturday morning at Hamburg High School starting at 8am.

We're also going to try a PUBLIC SPECTATOR admission... $3 allows to you into the model viewing area and vendor tables ONLY.

One other reminder... LONG pants and solid shoes (NO open toe) must be worn for the Reading & Northern shop tour on Sunday, Sept. 28th. SAFETY first!!
