Our HO Division Superintendent, Tom Blinn, and Electrical Committee Chair and Society Treasurer Barry Chinn will be running a new clinic for the 2015-2016 season! This clinic will be “Caboose Lighting”. This clinic will happen on Saturday, February 27th in the Depot Museum. The clinic will be a hands-on session building one of the boards. If you bring 2 trucks with plastic side frames and Intermountain wheels, Tom & Barry will help you make them pickup trucks. You will leave knowing how to light your caboose with detailed drawings and plans, a printout of the steps to take, and commercial contacts for the required items. Not to mention the experience of trying something new!
We will go over the following:
- Preparing the trucks for electrical pick up.
- Building a universal caboose lighting wiring board.
- Attaching different kinds of lights.
- Installing the board and wiring.
- Choosing the right resistors.
Remember! A dark, unlit caboose is a shame to model railroaders! So get on with it and look like a real modeler!
Come and learn with us and the handout will be a constant reference to all the details! Hope to see you at our Depot Museum at 10:00 AM on February 27th. Please reach out to Tom Blinn to RSVP for this event!
