Our monthly division meetings normally start at 7:00 pm with a model railroading clinic or workshop (see description below). A short business meeting follows the clinic. Regular division model railroading meetings are open to the public and are on the third Monday of each month. Refreshments are provided at the in-person meetings. Guests are always welcome. We are doing hybrid (in-person and also available via Zoom) meetings. The February 2023 meeting will be Zoom only.
Our next scheduled meeting will be Zoon only on Monday, February 20, 2023.
