Clinics will be presented on Saturday during the convention

Will Gage - "NWX's club upgrade to Anderson PowerPoles" - 10 AM

With various examples and materials to view, you will be able to see the equipment first hand. Also, a brief discussion and overview of Houston's Northwest Crossing Model Railroad Club path of upgrade...all of the pains and rejoicing that went with the project. Finally the question of "Why should I Change?" will be answered from both sides of the isle.

Kelly Russell - "How Shippers deal with Adversity" 11 AM

A look at how Shippers deal with all sorts of issues including lack of available equipment, track outages that include Hurricanes, swollen rivers and missing bridges, standard rail maintenance, graffiti, storage, and problems with switching proper cars.

Dewey Jones III - "Creativity within the Standards of T-Trak" 12 PM

A look at ways to create and model unique t-trak modules that will make your module standout either in its capability or looks.

Tracy Mitchell, MMR - "Tools of the Trade" 1 PM

Tracy is one of the area's most prolific and talented modelers, but in this clinic he will show you - not how to construct and detail models - but what tools he uses to achieve his success. The emphasis will be on the proper tool for the proper job. After seeing this clinic, you too will be able to build that car or structure with the same reckless abandon.
