Yuma, Arizona, is about 200 miles from hobby shops in Phoenix, Tucson or San Diego and has dropped from it's winter high of 150,000 population to the summer (year round) hardy souls of about 80,000.  Our little club, Rail Roadrunners of Yuma, is down to Marvin and me after having our 2 regular snowbirds, Ron R. and Bobber Gibbs of On30 Conspiracy bail after the first 100 degree day.  Come November we hope to draw a few more birds.

Over time we have had three people drop off boxes of un-wanted model rr equipment.  The biggest box had been stored under my desk for several years and never really gone through.  Now that we have secured a free permanent (as much as can be)  train room from the church we have constructed a 5'x10' HO layout with extensions planned for yard and stagging.  I also thought it was time to open the time capsules.  I detailed the box contents on my blog   http://armchairmodelbuilders101.com   and our club yahoo group   RRofYuma.    I added some photos to tease you into checking out the blog.
