Railroading for the vision impaired?

Mon, 2014-11-10 11:03 — Mycroft

As you are most aware of, this past Saturday was Merit Badge Academy again. 38 Scouts earned their merit badges and took home a car of their very own.

Btu this time a new challenge was thrown at me. At the afternoon class, 2 minutes prior to class, this 1 scout comes up and tells me he is visually challenged and his mom will be along in a few minutes if I have questions.

MRH as the new reference material.

I lurk on a number of other model railroad forums. Some are Yahoo groups with daily emailed digests. What is interesting is the sudden reference of MRH articles or forum discussions being posted positively on these other sites. The article about the Files, Refilers, etc. is making the rounds on these sites. Each time the URL to the online article is posted. This is happening so often now that it is becoming common to see a reference to something in the monthly MRH edition or some thread currently going on.

I am trying to use the MRH Search but I get nothing on the search screen.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Merit Badge Academy

Sat, 2014-11-01 10:11 — Mycroft

Ok, I'm a week out from another day of Merit Badge academy. I am set up for 2 sessions of 20 scouts each (Morning class is full, afternoon class currently has 7 open slots). You may have read the article, but I have added a few things since:

1. Lecture (gotta have it, but still burning to Cd for the scouts to take home, plus 2 pages of handout)(I supply cds and handouts)

2. Accurail car kits and starting this time with Kadee couplers. (Accurail cuts a 45% discount this time, Kadees supplied for free by Kadee)

Washable/ReWetable/Erasable airbrush paints .... does anyone have experience using these types of products and just exactly do these terms mean? How do they behave when brushed, sponged(no Stienfeld jokes) etc.?

Model Railroad Names July 1973 Morale Falls & Sadgino

Could this be the same Joe Fugate?

Model Railroader July 1973, RPO column:

"My railroad is an HO scale around-the-walls switching pike named Morale Falls & Sadgino (pronounced sad-jya-no, a warped version of "sad you know"). I hope someday to enlarge the railroad to include a branch line, the Hinge Creek RR. -- Joe Fugate, Box 487, Oakland, Ore., 97462."

Amazing what you can find in a pile of 50cent estate sale magazines.
