We're a "crafty" bunch. Among us, we have over two centuries of modeling experience! At each meeting we have a short business meeting, a break with refreshments, a how2 clinic or presentation, a drawing for door prizes, and a model contest. Check out the winners in the Milepost Newsletters. We also have a large HO scale modular railroad group. Many of our members are also involved in HOn3 and N scale modular groups. We try to put on two swapmeets a year.

    Use this Home Depot color formula to get the module brown used on module legs,
    backs of backboards, ends, and front side facias. (Scanned from original source.) It seems the
    Foxfire color we have been using and refer to in the module specs is not the same.
    It's been reported this is now a very red color.
