On April 10th, the Southern Utah Division has been invited to go down to Las Vegas for a Cajon Division Mini-Meet.

The T-Trak Club will be taking the modules to the Ogden Train show on March 5th thru March 7th. This is a great train show to attend as there are several real train engines and cars there, plus a car museum. It is also next to a UTA Frontrunner station, so you can ride a train to the train show! This is one of the larger shows of the year. If you can get up to Ogden, check out this show and come and visit us!

The March meeting will be Wednesday the 3rd, 7pm at Dave’s home. Dave will introduce us to “operating” a model railroad layout and then explain how operations on his AT&SG pike will happen. Hosts are still needed for our meetings this year so please review your calendars for 2010, check with your spouses, and come prepared to volunteer to host a monthly meeting at your home. We also need people to conduct a clinic or make a presentation at our meetings. If you have a particular skill or idea that you would like to share with the rest of us, let me know so I can get you on the calendar. Thanks for stopping by and we’ll see you on Wednesday.

All Leadership of the Southern Utah Division of the Rocky Mountain Region of the NMRA will be having a meeting on Tuesday, March 2nd at 7:00pm at Jim’s House. We will be planning for the year and the future beyond and what we need to be doing. Hope to see you there!

Our next full Color Country Train Club meeting will be on Tuesday, February 16th at 7:00pm at Ed’s Clubhouse. Mark will be giving a presentation on the trains on England. We will also be discussing the upcoming Hostler’s Show up in Ogden. Hope to see you all there!

There is a train show in Sandy, UT on Saturday, Feb 6th and Sunday, Feb 7th at the South Towne Expo Center.  It will be from 10am-4pm both days.  This is a national traveling show, so it should be pretty big.

We are not taking our layout to this show, but it is a big show and wanted to let people know about it.  Here is a link to the shows information: http://www.trainexpoinc.com/shows/2010SaltLakeCity.html

The February meeting was well attended with 11 active club members and 2 new members. Welcome aboard Peter and Bruce. A lot of positive comments were received on the clinic presentation which demonstrated how to make ground cover material from real leaves. Hopefully we’ll see some of this ground cover start appearing on our home layouts in the future. Thanks to all those that showed up for the meeting, including the N scalers. The next meeting will be on Wednesday, March 3rd. Check back later in the month for the location and clinic information.

, two of which are new members to the CCMRC. Welcome Peter and Bruce.

Hello all! We will have our next T-Trak meeting on Thursday, February 4th at 7:00pm.  We will be at a new location this time. We will meet at Quality Truss at 1483 E Commerce Drive, St. George UT 84790. Here is a Google Map to the building. We have all the modules setup and will be able to run DC Trains. Feel free to bring a train or two to run. We had a fifty car train running at the last show, so length is not a problem! Hope to see you all there!

We are putting this video up on the website due to the fact that the module was destroyed in a fire. So long tunnel module.
