The October 2016 Meet of the WISE Division Schedule

The WISE Division’s October meet is Sunday, October 16, at the (Best Western Plus) Midway Hotel & Suites at 1005 S Moorland Rd. in Brookfield, Wis. The meet is FREE and open to the public. There will be three 45-minute sessions of clinics as well as the usual popular vote model contest and home layouts on tour from 4-6 p.m.

Due to a change in available space, there will be a limited number of swap tables. One table per person and please DO NOT arrive before 11:30 a.m.

Bring your models or photos to enter (entries accepted until 1:30 p.m.) for all categories. Note: this year there will be two rates for 1st Place and Best of Show winners: Non-NMRA members will receive a $10 certificate, while NMRA members will receive a $20 certificate.

Clinic schedule:

1:00 p.m.
Patterns of Weathering on Freight Cars (prototype photos)
Dave Nelson starts his two-part clinic with photos showing the wide variety of what “weathering” does to freight cars, with the goal of identifying certain general patterns that can be modeled.

2:00 p.m.
Weathering Model Freight Car without Airbrushing
Dave Nelson continues his clinic with demonstrations of weathering techniques, with sample weathered freight car models in HO and N scales that will be passed around the room for close inspection.

3:00 p.m.
Train Fun in Western Pennsylvania
Steve Miazga shows us a visit to Horseshoe Curve and a tour of the Carnegie Science Center Model Railroad.

Layout tour will be the HO scale C&NW Lakeshore Division which will be on tour for the first time. It features two large yards and an active interchange with the GB&W. It is a layout you don’t want to miss.

Hope to see you there.
