September Meet Program - Change Of Plans!
 |
Well we thought we had it all figured out, but apparently NOT!
Due to limited interest we've been forced to cancel the planned road trip to Montreal. The numbers weren't sufficient to justify
the expenditure.
But have no fear, we have a great PLAN B lined up.
We'll be holding a traditional meet at the Emmanuel United Church followed by a KitBusters Workshop in the afternoon.
The SLD will be supplying lunch (e.g. pizza) for all who are in attendance.
The theme for the Display Table will be "Your Summer Projects" and "Models That Have Earned Recognition".

Wooden Freight Car Project
April 6th - Updated Material!
|
We've posted links to two additional clinic presentations:
- Freight Truck Design, and
- Painting Wooden Freight Cars
Both articles can be found in the Reference section.
For the 2015/16 season, the SLD is hosting another leader lead project - this one focused on building a Wooden Railway Car Kit.
The objective of this project is to introduce you to dissappearing art of building a wooden railway car kit and to develop the associated skills and techniques.
Though the technology employed by these kits may be dated, they still produce an award winning model.
Through our workshops you'll learn about the protoype & its features, how to build the kit right out of the box and how to make improvements.
We'll also teach you new tricks and techniques which can be leveraged in other aspects of the hobby.

is to promote model railroading, fellowship and the NMRA. We will encourage as well as
provide the means and assistance to those interested in developing their modeling and
technical skills. Meets will feature clinics, layout tours, Achievement Program judging,
contests, displays and more. Programs will be developed that serve the
entire SLD region, not just the local Ottawa area.
The NMRA Mission Statement: The National Model Railraod Association, Inc. advances the global model railroading community
through advocacy, standards, education and social interaction.
The SLD Executive
The St Lawrence Division Executive is elected by the membership where each position
is held for two years. Your current SLD executive is as follows.
Please feel free to contact any member
of the Executive if you have any questions or ideas. We always appreciate
your input.
