December meeting's model display
The Winnipeg Model Railroad Club's monthly model display is held at every meeting by the No. 1 Northern Division of the NMRA. To qualify for the monthly prize, you must show that you've done some assembly or weathering. Each entry must include a short write-up describing the work that has been finished to date.
Ron Einarson, the modeller's modeller, displayed an L&N coal unloading trestle.
Ron also displayed some steel drums which he hand-painted in prototype colours. Is he going
to put them on his layout, or is he going to start a miniature Caribbean steel drum band?
Ron displayed a Walthers logging truck, which was a resin kit that he assembled mostly at
Gooch's open house in November.
Gino Kost displayed a 50' Canstock car. This type of car was designed specifically to
haul aluminum or steel coils for the manufacturing of canned food products.
