Local railfan Otto P. Dobnick will give us a look back at the basics about the WC: where it went and what types of lines, trains, traffic, customers, and equipment it had.
Presented by Otto Dobnick
Otto continues with Part 2 of his WC story which will show some interesting traffic and operational aspects of the WC that made it different from other regionals and focus on ideas for modeling.
Model Railroader Associate Editor Eric White will share his experience using free, downloadable software to design and print 3-D model parts
Maps distributed at 4 p.m.
As you pull into the Clarion Hotel parking lot drive past the Front Doors and continue on down this side drive (you'll actually be coming from back to front in this picture).
You'll see on the right this overhang with "Conference Center" upon it - that's our entrance. (If you happen to park out front by the Front Doors you can still get to our rooms - it's just a much longer walk with stairs involved.)
Upon entering the building (the left side of this photo) our 3 rooms will be in the left corner (the center of this photo). Just to the left the column (the center of this picture) are the bathrooms and water fountains. (Yes I wrote something other then bubblers.....;)
