NERPM 2016

A nice looking caboose with extra details added by Stephen Tyk.

Don and I are heading to check out layouts today after two days at the Springfield, Ma. RPM meet then off to Vermont. The RPM seemed well attended once again. We watched some wonderful clinics on topics we did not know much about. The modeling on display was over the top once again. There was lots to buy but I only picked up some kits and details from BEST that I ordered in advance. These are some of the photos I took with my cell phone...more to follow once I am home...George Dutka

Geoffrey Anthony built this MEC woodchip car. Speaking to Geoffrey he confirmed that the MEC did not have any yellow gold woodchip cars as I showed you a little while ago that a friend of mine modeled. 

Tony Koester has a second layout on the go. This time in O scale and proto 48. His clinic covered what he is now doing extremely well.

Neil Schofield presented a wonderful clinic on his CV Richford Branch. This is a new addition to his Richford scene. This photo of Neil's model was inspired by a similar view Ian Stronach took many years ago of the prototype on the Richford.

Neil once the clinic was over answering questions. 

There was a lot for sale in the vendors room.

Two of the models Jack Hughes brought along to the RPM.

Just in case you wanted to touch something.
